Rosa,

An sich eine schöne Jugendherberge, mit einer sehr zentralen Lage. Allerdings waren wir in einem sehr großen Schlafsaal. Es waren meistens 4 Betten zu einer „Bucht“ zusammengestellt, was ein bisschen Privatsphäre in dem großen Raum geboten hat. Allerdings hatten die Betten kein eigenes Licht. Das war recht problematisch wenn man später als die anderen zurück gekommen ist, wenn die anderen das große Licht aus haben wollte, gab es keine Möglichkeit nur die „Buchten“ zu beleuchten und man müsste alles mit Handytaschenlampen hinbekommen. Zudem hätten wir keine Steckdosen am Bett (Es gab allerdings hä auch Betten mit Steckdosen). Daher könnten wir unsere Handys immer nur beim Frühstück laden.... Das Frühstück wird gesponsert, man bezahlt es also nicht. Dafür fand ich das Frühstück gut. Es gab zwar keine besonders große Auswahl aber geschmeckt hat es. :)

Thank you for your comments. We are looking into electrical upgrades to the building so we can provide more plugs/lights for guests. Thank you again.
