Nice and clean, authentic, very convenient location right in downtown. Single-person rooms are just a bed's size but you actually don't need more! There is a shared space and kitchen which are nice and clean too. Highly recommended!

Always an enjoyable stay ♥️

Only wanted to try it to get a feeling for solitary confinement, too expensive for a hostel. The smell of blanket and its cover were telling me they had not been washed recently. No direct access from its parking to the building, only through front door.

10/10

It's a very good place to stay. Easy and convenient location, friendly staff and truly cost efficient. I'm new to the place so I need a place to crash for 2 nights. This place was amazing. Will definitely choose this over others if I visit next time.
