Good value

The hostel is a 20 min walk from eating places but has parking on the street in front and so narrow streets can be avoided Very clean and quiet except when other guests start showering prior to leaving in the morning, the water pipes echo through the concrete building. Still, it is very reasonably priced accom and completely contactless I can recommend this if you are driving

Its a bit out of the way for visitors without a car using public transport, but with a car it was fantastic. The only negative is that the neighbouring room occupants were noisy entering and exiting the property late at night and early in the morning. Limited dining options (variety) nearby

Positives. The apartment was well equipped (kitchen and bathrooms) and clean. There was parking available right outside and the check in instructions were clear and straightforward. There were ample heating and cooling options. Negatives There was no ability to access the balcony, which was advertised in the pictures and would have been a nice social space as there was no lounge area inside. The pillows were very uncomfortable and hindered a decent night's sleep. The lack of power points near the beds meant the bedside lamps didn't work and also not ideal for charging devices etc. The worst element for us was the building noise next door. While I appreciate this was not the fault of the Hostal, the apartment was uninhabitable from 8.30am for the majority of the day and some advanced notice (clearly the works had been going on a while) would have been appreciated as we could have made other plans.

We didn’t speak with anyone as the checkin and instructions were entirely made through WhatsApp and online services, but everything was quick, clear and friendly. The room was clean and smelled like cleaning products. Quiet neighborhood but we can hear other clients in the hallway and a little in their rooms. As far as I know, there are no reserved parking for this hostal, we parked in the street but it was easy.

La stanza ed il bagno sono pulissimi e molto profumati. La stanza è ampia e piacevole, in bagno c'è anche il bidet, raramente presente all' estero. Il solo lato negativo è che era un po' freddo (inizio gennaio) e l' aria calda, presente solo in camera e non in bagno, funzionava a tratti. .

Einfach und praktisch eingerichtet Zimmer leider sehr hellhörig Alles online...kein persönlicher Kontakt Badewanne ohne Stöpsel....der Umwelt zu liebe, naja, halte ich für Bevormundung. Jeder sollte selbst über seinen ökologischen Fussabdruck entscheiden dürfen. Dreimal Duschen am Tag oder mal ein Vollbad nehmen...gerade nach einer anstrengenden Wanderung wäre das Komfort... Stattdessen lieber für alle Gäste ein gemeinsamer Kühlschrank...tut auch etwas für die Ökobilanz...Kühlschrank im Zimmer war sehr laut.
