To avoid waiting for us (or loosing your room) we suggest you to inform us in advance about any change in your arrival time. In this case you can spare time for you and for us.

We are a small hostel and do NOT want to accept groups with 6 persons or more (not to disturb our other guests). Thank you.

4 The hostel actually is a big flat adapted for hostel purposes. As most of the time there's nobody at the reception, you feel quite at home. The location of the hostel is really great and the rooms are big and bright. We didn't find the living room, but the kitchen was really fine. A little drawback were the bathrooms, which are new but haven't been cleaned for at least 2 weeks when we arrived and weren't cleaned during our stay (4 days) neither. We had reserved a double room, but got a room for 4 persons with 2 bunk beds. On request they pushed the beds together, but it still wasn't the same... Anyway I still would recomend the hostel for the rooms, the location and the fact that you can come and leave when you want.
