Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The staff was really friendly and helpful, the common areas were clean, fully equipped kitchen. The location is also nice, 20 minutes from the city centre, the area is also safe. Comparing to the prices of the other hostels in the city, this is definitely the most affordable one.

    A great place especially considering the reasonable price. We have stayed in a shared bathroom room but the bathrooms were clean all the time. We did not feel like we are staying in a cheap hostel. It was a boutique nice stay.

    Reception staff informative and helpful. Comfortable beds/room, good aircon, great bathroom/shower, kettle, safe, lift to room. Plenty of space and room to sit and read etc within the room. Very good breakfast, convenient parking & great location - near main sights but in a quiet area so good for sleeping ! We were in modern purpose built block so no hesitation in recommending hotel - we had everything we needed ! We had 3 nights at the hotel but would have been happy there for a week !

    Great location and view from the common area. Electronic locks and clean rooms. Multiple showers despite the limit due to the nature of the building. Free tours start outside the hostel twice per day!

    Excellent location for access by car. But if you like to walk, it is also a great location to make your walking plan come true. The neighborhood is safe. Breakfast is fresh, crisp and wakes you up.

    Great location, just a short walk away from the city center. Really easy and cheap to park (around the corner). The room was good, clean and the breakfast was simple but really nice. The host is super welcoming, helpful and gave us really nice tips.
