A lovely hostel but difficult to find and a terrible location if you come by car.Why was not parking provided in a new hostel?Would it be possible to have some places available at a parking station nearby?Also availability of hot water to fill a thermos would be handy. It is difficult to fill from the cups at the coffee machine at breakfast.

Very happy with my choice. The hostel is at the best place near train station and airport.

The people I shared the room with, arrived at the room at 4 am, smelling of alcohol, and decided that it would be a good idea to have a few very noisy drinks before going to sleep. Furthermore, they were mad that I was sleeping in "their" room. Obviously, this is not the hostel's fault, but it made for one very bad night's sleep for me.
