    I liked the ensuite hostel rooms. The location was good as it was walkable to the city and also really close to the tram line and bus stops.

    Very good place! While booking just had to pay attention that the bed was on the "second" level. If you a little bit old :), maybe it will be not very comfortable. But it was my fault. Stuff, place, attitude - everything was super!
