The hostel is conveniently located a very short walk (ten minutes) from the bus and train station, so no taxi is necessary. The hostel is also only a short walk from the city centre, parks, and points of interest across the town. Access to shopping centres is easy and closely located.
Rooms and Bathrooms
All rooms in this hostel are very new and therefore clean and modern. The hostel provides both private rooms and up to seven-bed dorm rooms. All rooms are fresh and give a comforting feel to guests. The private rooms have been artistically renovated recently and give guests a stylish place to stay whilst reflecting the previous function of the building.
Within the seven-bed dorm room there is a large modern bathroom with one shower and one toilet, as well as an additional basin and mirror (outside the main bathroom). This allows ease of access for all guests sharing the dorm. The shower is of good quality, pressure, and temperature.
There are lockers (suitably sized for a large rucksack) assigned to each guest and lockable with the main key card used for building and room entry.
Common Spaces
The hostel provides guests with several common areas for hanging out, meeting new friends, and dining. There is a main kitchen (not for use by guests) and bar with restaurant. There are comfortable sitting areas with nooks for guests to chill out, and there are outdoor sitting spaces also. The dorm rooms share a common kitchen with fridge (no freezer), which is clean and provides sufficient cutlery and kitchenware. The hostel offers a book exchange and luggage storage. There is ample opportunity for travelers to meet other guests and have a drink or two.
Summary
Overall, this hostel is very trendy and well recommended. The vibe of the city is reflected in the hostel itself. Guests are welcomed and made to feel comfortable.
