In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central location — A short walk from the train station and close to transport options, with most attractions within about 15 minutes on foot.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests consistently mention the welcoming team, from offering city maps to safeguarding belongings at reception.
  • Clean and tidy facilities — Reviews highlight spotless kitchens, bathrooms, and dormitories, with well-maintained beds.
  • Value for money — At a budget price point, guests feel they get a comfortable stay that's worth what they paid.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Inconsistent room quality — While dorms are praised, some private rooms on the third floor suffer from curtains that don't block light, and can be placed on male-only floors.
  • Mixed staff interactions — Although most staff are friendly, at least one guest reported a rude receptionist who refused a room change request.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Basic amenities — Rooms come with heating but little else, and the hostel overall is a no-frills 2-star property. Breakfast is available, but don't expect luxury.

The location was great, just a short walk from the train station and close to transport options. The bedsheets were clean, and my single private room was small but cute.”
