- "Breakfast was delicious! Room clean. Convenient location. Safe and quiet. " - "The location is perfect! You can walk everywhere. Quiet area. " - "Very walkable location. Great stay! " - "This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets."
