    I arrived quite late and the lady was very accommodating. Communication on the messaging app was great and she replied very quickly. The last who greeted me was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was good and considering this was one...

    Very central location. Host very helpful and looked after our bikes. Rooms comfortable but bit dated. Good stopover for our cycle trip along the Rhine.

    Location is very convenient and ideal to visit Schaffhausen. Lots of nice shops and restaurants / bars nearby. Last but not least, view on the Rhine. The hostel hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

    Decent sized single room and modern bathroom facilities, all very clean. Surprisingly quiet (few other residents since a small hostel)! Friendly and helpful owner. Excellent location a stone's throw from the Rhine and boat landing for services...

    L'accueil était incroyable, l'espace intimiste.

    Einfach nur symphatisch von A-Z, viel besser als das was man für den bezahlten Preis erwarten kann. Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn man auf Dusche/WC im Zimmer verzichten kann. Die Chefin ist einer der nettesten Menschen.

    Die Besitzerin war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Konnte das Zimmer bereits vor dem Check in beziehen. (Vielen Dank dafür)
