An absolute gem all around!

From the moment you enter, the gorgeous scent of what's to come envelopes you. An absolutely gorgeous check-in area. It felt like walking into a museum. Beautifully curated and most importantly, the warm embrace of the people working within the establishment. Giulia, Leedia, and the other fine gentlemen, as well as the owner were present. This was only the 3rd week the hotel/hostel has been in operation. The owner, an absolute gentleman, greeted me and introduced me to his staff the first 10 minutes of my arrival. He gave me the history of the building and what is being planned going forward. The other gentlemen working the main lobby/check in aso made my 9 night stay special as well. Always pleasant, always engaging, and were of great help with anything that I needed. OH! the rooms! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Like a high end boutique. High ceilings, spacious, secure. High quality bedding and sheets. So much attention to detail. Fantastic mattress. Immaculately clean. Bathrooms were spacious, modern, beautiful showers. Great aesthetic and design. Without question, the best hostel/hotel I have ever stayed in. Tram was right outside of the beautiful building. Very convenient. There's also a laundry area with a washer and dryer. So convenient. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the hotel. EXQUISITE! I look forward to my stay this spring! I have goosebumps thinking about it!

Disliked: Room comfort
Nur zwei Klo/ Dusche für 12 Bette. Schlechte Luft wegen Bettvorhänge. Das Licht ging auf, als man die Bettvorhänge öffnete. Man musste sie also geschlossen halten, um das Licht aus zu haben. Sehr unbequem. Bette in drei Ebenen war auch unbequem

A very nice place to stay for solo travelers

I rented a bed on 3rd floor in a mixed sex dorm. The hostel was pretty much full, but it is a quiet environment in the dorms. One can beaerly notice that you are living amongst others. The common bathroom and showers are of newer standard, and is kept clean and tidy. The staff is wonderful. Would 100% recomend for anyone traveling alone.

What a wonderful stay

Oh, what a wonderful Hostel this is. It is brandnew and everything was just perfect! I loved the interior and details and the staff was superfriendly and welcomming. It is also located in a lovely neighbourhood easy to walk to the city center or with the tram in front of the door.
