    One of the best hostels i’ve been. Very clean, big room, comfortable bed and pillow. Nice toilets with isolated shower cabin, hot water. And it couldn't be any cheaper. Girls at the receptions are very nice and the check in is super easy. And i have to add that they accepted some package on behalf of my name and kept it at the reception until i arrived. Im really thankful for that. I really recommend it.

    This hostel was really great. Very clean. Very warm, what was a must since was freezing outside. Quiet but still in a great location. The staff was really nice, the lady showed us our room and explained everything about the building (what was a first for a hostel). At first I find the entrance a little bit sketchy but quickly we realised that was safe. Really recommend for what it costed!!
