Great location, just a few blocks from city center. Public transportation close by, both in free-zone & zone 1, but don't really need it. 2 grocery stores nearby, one up the street other one around the corner. Decent kitchen facilities, with plenty of seating: also small lounge downstairs. Daily postings of things to do or places to eat, as well as monthly activities.

There was a problem with my card. The person made me pay the wrong price, and then it was "pretty long" to "reverse it".

The woman at the front desk (sans name-tag) was the only one on duty Thursday night, around 11 o'clock, and was hostile and condescending to several guests awaiting check-in.

One of my favorite hostels now. Great location in a quiet part of the city, yet amazingly close to everything by foot or public transportation. Great staff, clean rooms, clean bathrooms. Loved it! Just beware the attacking shower curtains in the claw-footed tubs!

I was located in the external building, not the main house. The roof leaked slightly, the radiator leaked, and the place felt rather neglected. I have stayed in the main building before and felt that a much better environment.

Die Zimmer sind zwar klein, aber man hat ein Schliessfach, indem man viel unterbringen kann. Die Betten sind sehr komfortabel. Wir hatten in unserem Dorm sogar ein eigenes Bad!
