There were cute pictures in every room, and there were books in the common room, and some people were reading leisurely. I was alone in a five-person room, probably because I wasn't in my prime. The shower was hot, so I was warm.

I got upgraded to another room so I was thankful for that !
The room smelled a bit (moldish) even though the guests already there had opened the window but by night, it got better.
Otherwise, the room was big and had a heater which was really convenient.
I was happy to see a sink in the room but it wasn't usable unfortunately. I thought it would have been nice!
The kitchen is well equipped, there are books available in the dining room!
Emplacement is very good, close to the train station and a few activities.

This hostel is of character, it's fairly close to the train station and the house lady is very kind and friendly. It was a really great stay for me 😉

It's a century-old house, a family-style hotel. The owner and his wife don't live here, so they hired backpackers to take care of it. I really like it here. It feels like a big family and I have met many talented and interesting backpackers from various countries.
