Looking for a hostel?

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 free shuttle from the airport to the hotel was helpful either end of our overnight stay. The communal reception-area seemed in a very good state. The room was of a higher standard than I had expected, the facilities surpassed our expectations based on this cheap stay. Would definitely use again for a close-proximity stay to the airport.

    The rooms and facilities were clean and tidy. I love it that they have a kitchen where we can cook and the breakfast was nice and different varieties. Lockers are just outside the room but still it was safe. The hostel is near bus stops and tram stations and it is near the lake where you can walk going there. The staffs were very nice. Also they have a wonderful receiving area.

    It exceeded my expectations, especially as a ‘budget’ IBIS hotel. It was fantastic. Very clean and a big room. Bathroom was clean. Great location. easy access to the centre by train or bus which are both free!! I would go back here
