It was an original stay, indoor caravan camping. Our 5 year old loved it and asked to come and stay 10 nights :) It was clean and with all the facilities you might need, even more. Many games and playground. Great location, 15-20 min walking to downtown. Easy to find street parking and not expensive (3,5EUR for 24h). Nice breakfast included in the price.

The hostel is very well located to visit the city. You can walk everywhere. You can buy the citycard/pass there. Staff were helpful. I stayed in a private room with a bathroom. It was quiet and clean. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was very good and varied.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

There is one clothes washer €5 as well as one clothes dryer €2 per load, of which the price is fairly reasonable. The hostel provided me with a lower-bunk bed as requested.

Everything was typically a youth hostel. The staff were very helpful. It's in the old town, so the attractions are easy walking distance. The staff told us about a free English speaking walking tour, that we could go on, and so we did, and it was great.

The staff are friendly, the shared space room is very cosy and you can get free delicious coffee and chat with strangers. The rooms are nice, and exceeded our expectations copared to what we paid. Bonus: the hostel is a 15mins walk from the center. Overall I liked everything and I would recommend it for a few days budget friendly stay.
