Although quite shabby on the outside, the minute we walked through the door, we were so comfortable. We were greeted by the lovely Sophie and given the tour of the hostel. It’s super quirky and unlike anything we ever stayed in. To top it all off, the garden was amazingly lush and quiet and the coffee was awesome.

Most beautiful Hostel! Friendly staff, cool designed and clean areas. The highlight is the spaceous garden, which calls for a drink in the evening and is perfect for kids to hang out and play.Nice restaurants and bars are within walking distance, still it's calm and quiet in the neighbourhood. We stayed in a room faxing the street and it was perfectly quiet.

Great Experience and will be added to my short list of favourite hostel in Europe. Kind, helpful and friendly staff.The Location is a bit off center but that's not a thing because the trams are running quite late and early.The only thing I didn't really liked, was the lighting of the kitchen area which could've been a bit brighter.

I have stayed here a few times and always return, the staff are extremely friendly, the prices in the dorm are affordable, there are curtains surrounding the beds of room 12 which is uncommon and gives a nice sense of privacy when sharing a room with others. Bathrooms, room and kitchen are really clean. Garden is nice but the wifi does not work out there.Only problem I had were other guests who seem to slam doors all night long and were constantly opening the noisy lockers in the room making sleep difficult, some common courtesy lacked from others on the night I stayed during my last visit.

хорошо. I can just recommend this place! Really friendly staff, the rooms are new, clean and have all different styles. My room ("void"-ask for it before you make the reservation , it's not yet listed online) had a really nice light composition. Kitchen facility offers everything you need, they have warm and clean showers. The garden is huge and in summer I guess really nice to hang out! You can rent bikes or very easily get to the center by tram. Bars etc around are also nice. Parking is no problem.A hidden gem!
