I loved my stay here — it was such a pleasant surprise. I honestly miss this place already!

Pros: I absolutely loved this place! The guy at the reception was extremely helpful, friendly, and pleasant — such a great welcome. We were lucky to get a corner room, which was quite spacious, comfortable, and very clean. There was plenty of space and everything felt well maintained. The bathrooms had everything you needed — very hot showers, soap, and clean facilities. Breakfasts were amazing — really tasty coffee, nice bread, fresh veggies — just perfect to start the day! There was also a terrace where you could eat outdoors, and a lovely park just next to the building. The location was perfect — one of the biggest supermarkets in town just a minute’s walk away, and one of the train stations about 8 minutes on foot. Super convenient and close to the centre.

Cons: The little kitchen area is quite small and often occupied, so it might be tricky if you plan to cook there. But to be fair, I wasn’t planning to use it much anyway, so it didn’t bother me.

Pros: The hostel is well situated, just next to a parc. The room was clean and a fan was available with the heat. Some lockers are available but not directly in the room. The breakfast was great and the terrace was good to enjoy the breakfast with the sun.

Cons: If you need to leave really early, you might not be able to get the breakfast as it begins at 8:30 (I don't know if it's always like that)
