In general the hotel is very good. Breakfast can be better, few options to choose. Was cold in the rooms. Very nice hostel, good atmosphere. The cafe is very good. Staff is very friendly. I may add more sofas in common areas. Thank you!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review! Our complimentary breakfast is always a great start to the day and for more options there are many nice Restaurants in the area which have amazing food. I am glad you found the team to be friendly and you enjoyed the environment. The dorm rooms do not have individual heat control, so we try for a good temperature which satisfies all. Hope you come and visit us again. Maicke/Hostel Manager
