Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Super modern! Is a hostel but designed like a hotel, the most luxurious hostel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in a lot! They had lots of communal places, ran free yoga classes in the mornings, kitchen was modern and included a spice rack, my eight room dormitory was attached to not one but two really nice, modern and clean bathrooms with showers

    Friendly & helpful front desk staff. Accomodating for cancelled flights during foggy weather and great location right next to the airport. During my short transit, I must've got only 4 hours sleep, but that was the best sleep I've had all year! Very comfy & warm, and safe when I was travelling alone.

    The decor was tasteful and calm. The facilities were great (kitchen and bathroom and heat pump). The venue was in a great location - close to the city and the park and it felt very safe there.

    Really impressed with this hostel! I was upgraded from an 8-bed dorm to a 2-bed dorm, which was small but great to have fewer people. Comfy beds with curtains, individual lights, and chargers by the bed, plus lockers for luggage. They have two kitchens which are well equipped and have everything you need, plus a cozy lounge. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely stay here again! :)
