The hostel is exactly what i everytime trying to search when i am up for an Hostel. It is really chill and the atmosphere bringing people together. I really loved the events and sitting together with people around. One of my best experience in hostels, even though the equipment is not the newest, but you don't need it in my opinion.

Great breakfast, nice volunteers and their organized events. Ideal location - walking distance from city center and just across the train station 😊

Walls are really thin, you can hear all the noise from common rooms. But it wasn't bothering us, plus they offer free earplugs. And it's bit harder to find the hostel, since you enter almost through McDonald's. Although they give enough explanation in messages.
