I know it doesn't look like much, but for a hostel it was perfect. No noisy bunk beds. It was warm and clean. Not too much noise. Hot showers. And the breakfast was decent (buffet style) with bread, cheese, ham, cereals, yogurt, a few vegetables, coffee, tea, something I think was juice (didn't try, I just drink water). Nothing fancy but enough to get you proper fed.

Great location overall. Very friendly and helpful staff, plenty space in- and outside to relax. You can borrow a key at the front desk to get back in anytime. WiFi is free but only available near the entrance. 5 minute walking distance to the historic city center. Snacks and drinks are available in the lobby. A very healthy breakfast selection is always included, and several decent restaurants are located within walking distance. Easily accessible by car with plenty of parking opportunities.Otherwise, common youth hostel standards apply: if you can't stand teenagers being teenagers or expect to be serviced in every regard, it's not for you. It's simple and functional, exactly what it needs to be.Better WiFi reception and power outlets near the beds would be nice to have but are no major issues.

Guys on reception were particularly friendly and super helpful. Good breakfast in large, light, airy room. Rooms a touch sparse, but what I would expect from a hostel. Good location, a 10 minute walk from city centre.

Weird atmosphere. If you are looking a good time don't stay here. It seems to be more for kids fieldtrips or summer school. Good place if you are just lookin for a affordable bed in a dorm for one night. Breakfast was really good and was included to the price.
