7.6Verified guest“A surprisingly pleasant stay in a central hostel with clear rules. Great location on the edge of the Old Town, quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The hostel was spotless, with bedrooms cleaned daily. WiFi worked well, and the newly renovated common areas were comfortable. The staff were genuinely helpful, even buying local treats for me when I couldn't find them. Highly recommend.”
7.6Verified guest“Excellent location with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, and major sights within walking distance. The hostel has good facilities, including a kitchen and terrace. The private double is a smart budget choice for a short stay.”
7.6Verified guest“Nice reception area and a great location close to bars and restaurants. The hostel is near the city centre and the Wi-Fi connection is strong.”
7.6Verified guest“Great value for money. The room was huge, with a balcony overlooking the river. The furniture and vibe made it feel like a five-star hotel. Location was ideal, right by the Old Town's bars and restaurants but still peaceful. The staff, especially David at reception, went out of their way to make my stay great. He let me check in early and even walked me to a taxi to avoid overcharging. Shout-out to him!”
7.6Verified guest“Excellent budget stay! Fantastic location, just steps from Old Town dining and nightlife. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, and fresh sheets. The private double was spacious with a great balcony view. Highly recommend for anyone on a budget.”
