Very comfortable hostel, we were a group of 13 people and we are happy to have stayed there. Very good location, 13 minutes walking from the north station. A plus is the included breakfast that has the basics but is good.

It was hot in the rooms even with the window open!! Mats outside the shower should be placed to avoid wetting the floor.
