| Reception staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Room was very comfortable and clean.
It took me a while to work out how to use the bed lamps but that I am probably an idiot ;-).

| This hostel has a great location and the staff is excellent. More than once they advised my family and I how to save money on transportation tickets, best use our time, etc. The hostel is spotless and the staff is outstanding! I will return, best compliment I can give it. Hostel response: | ||

| There was a variance in service. Room for improvement at breakfast. There was not enough food for breakfast. At 9:30 there were no eggs left, no coffe, no yoghourt, no bread, no ham, even glasses and cups were finished. Serving breakfast until 10:00 means you should refill the dishes for your guests to have a possibility to eat until 10:00. I think that was poor. In general I liked the hostel, the service with coffee bar, a bar open at night with coffe and drinks, the reception with water and snacks is nice. Hostel response: | ||
