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.

    It felt safe and was very central! We were given towels, toiletries, a fan and cheaper parking. Great for 2 female travellers.

    As soon as we arrived, everything was as it should be. Friendly staff, great location. Support already answered all my questions beforehand, as we had to make a few changes to the reservation. The breakfast was worth the price. The bar of the hostel itself should be praised the most. Every evening something happened, we met new people. We will be back!!

    The apartment was clean, modern, and in a great location. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's very safe and secure, with key cards used at various stages to get access to the building. It's an ideal option if you're on a budget and looking for something simple.
