Sem K.
Come here for the good time and the chance to meet people. It’s a place to return to after exploring, have a drink, and hang out with people you only met the day before. The atmosphere makes up for the basic rooms and bathrooms that could be cleaner. It’s not the usual hostel with lots of private space or a fancy breakfast hall. If cleanliness and luxurious rooms are your top priority, this probably isn’t for you.

There’s plenty to do here, from NES and board games to fun dinners and cookouts. The beds are quite spacious, and they offer free bike rentals. Getting to the city center is a bit of a walk, and the toilets and bathrooms aren’t the greatest. Still, it’s a wonderful place to stay, especially if you’re in the city for a longer stretch. Staying here is definitely an experience.

A relaxed place to unwind and meet travelers from all over, and even the odd fringe performer. The staff know the city and festival season well. Great atmosphere.

Good people and a great vibe. The beds were clean, and the ladies’ bathrooms were clean too, though the shower pressure wasn’t great. I had fun playing Mario Cart and cards with other travelers until the early hours.
Martin K.
The hostel has a personal feel and a cool atmosphere. Don’t expect luxury, it’s more camping-style, just with a better bed. The main downside was the shower: it swung between boiling and freezing, so you had to catch a brief moment between temperature changes to wash.
