Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was easy to get to from the metro station, there are also trams nearby. Locality seems quite safe, and active even after hours of the day. The hostel is well kept, even the common area, you may even plug in and work peacefully if your on a working holiday, for the digital nomads 😀. The breakfast was a big spread with many options and quality. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a good yet budget friendly accommodation.

    One of the best hostels I've ever been to but also one of the cheapest as well so it's a fantastic value for money! The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean, big and have a separate bathroom and toilet which makes things so much easier! The hostel also has a bar that works during the night, where you can also play pool, beer-pong etc. so it's a great place to meet new people as well.

    Great location close to a lot of cool bars and restaurants. Such a cozy lobby where it was nice to hang out both alone and with friends. The hostel bar was AMAZING and I ended up staying there a lot of the nights instead of going out. Great place to meet new people!! Also the people at the reception were so nice and welcoming! Great beds and free lockers. Absolutely the best hostel I've ever been to.
