The hostel it self is incredible and staff especially were so so nice and welcoming. I took the cheapest room, a dorm of 10. It was a level above any other hostel I’ve been to. Big room, shower and bathroom inside the room! Rare to find

Better places to stay
The staff was very rude. They overcharged for the room and then made a big deal about it.

Great Hostel
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Lots of activities and helpful front desk staff. We had a private and would definitely suggest paying the extra for superior room because they are in their own little hallway area and much quieter then rest of the hotel/hostel

Super hostel.
Wat een heerlijk verblijf. We kregen een upgrade van de kamer, deze was netjes, koel, schoon en een fijne douche en bed. Het is een gezellig hostel en ziet er verzorgd uit. Zeker een aanrader.
