Location is close to the main bridge and has a local train cross bridge every few minutes. Plenty of eatery places and markets around. The room has its own shower and toilets. The kitchen is very small but providing free coffee and tea, no breakfest.

I recommend this place
The guy who assisted on arrival was really nice and helpful. It is a very quiet area. It's a place you can really go back after enjoying the city and rest. Very clean and tidy. But also very simple. It was strange for me that I had to make my own bed, but as I said everything was very clean. And in very good conditions. There are many good restaurants in the area for breakfast lunch and dinner. Close to the station and walking distance to the city centre.

다녀본 호스텔 중 가장 깨끗하고 편안한 곳이였어요. 남녀공용이라는 점이 정서상 불편했지만, 룸메이트들이 워낙 활달해서 불편함은 없었어요. 한가지 흠이라면 체크인 시간이 정해져 있다는 점뿐이에요

Super ruhig, aber wer möchtet - gibts ja auch volle Hand geselliger Menschen, aber alles sehr unaufdringlich, man kann immer seine Ruhe haben. Tolle Lage - in wenigen Minuten im Stadtzentrum, egal - zu Fuß oder mit öffentlichem Straßenverkehr. Super sauber! Auch tolle Matratze - hab mich nie so gut ausgeschlafen! Alles in allem - SEHR zu empfehlen und komme selber voll gerne mal wieder vorbei!

非常に過ごしやすいホステルでした。 アーケードゲームがあったり、ミニスーファミもあります。 ゲームが好きな人は嬉しいかも。 コーヒーメーカーもあり無料でいただけます。 部屋もホステルとしては十分な広さでした、鍵付きロッカーも使えます。
