Reviewed Sep 17, 2026Nieuw en brandschoon hostel, met voldoende privacy voor een redelijke prijs. Heerlijk bed, langer dan 2 meter! Zeer vriendelijk dat ze bellen als je laat bent om in te checken, zeer behulpzaam en heldere uitleg over digi check in en toegang. Super!
Besef dat een hostel gehoriger is dan een hotel.

Reviewed Sep 2, 2026Great spot: hostel vibes with hotel-level service The main advantage is the setup. This isn't a standard, isolated hostel, but a stylish space integrated right into the infrastructure of a full-fledged hotel. What makes this location stand out * Infrastructure and service. Hotel staff ensure professional service, high standards of cleanliness, and quick assistance, which is rarely found in budget accommodation. * Ground-floor kitchen. Spacious, equipped with quality appliances and a kitchen island. Looks like the set of a cooking show. An ideal spot to prepare a full meal and connect with other guests. * Location in the historic center. Old Catholic churches, historic squares, and major architectural landmarks are all within walking distance. * Smart layout. The side extension along the main hotel building provides smooth logistics: direct access to hotel amenities paired with a separate entrance for hostel guests. * Atmosphere. Balances the privacy and standards of a hotel with the welcoming, social feel of a hostel.
Pillows. Personally, I would have preferred them to be larger and firmer. However, for a hostel stay, this is completely acceptable and easy to live with.

Reviewed Jun 30, 2026Super schöne Unterkunft mit dem Wohnzimmer unten. Schöne Atmosphäre und man kann interessante Menschen kennenlernen. Voll ausgestattete Küche mit Tee und Kaffee und angenehmer Musik:)
Die Zimmer sind oben an der Decke nicht hochgezogen. Das heißt, wenn andere ihr Licht anhaben, sieht man das auch im eigenen Zimmer. Auch hört man natürlich, wenn andere schnarchen. Deshalb ist es für Hochsensible Personen (wie auch andere Mehrbetthostels) leider nichts aber das mindert trotzdem die Qualität dieses Hostels nicht!

Reviewed Jun 5, 2026This is a fantastic hostel! A huge advantage is the fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor. It has absolutely everything: from an oven, fridge, and freezer to a complete set of dishes, cutlery, glasses, and a coffee machine. The setup is so professional that even a chef-kok would feel right at home here and wouldn't feel limited at all while cooking. Highly recommended!
Het enige minpuntje was dat mijn kamer zich direct bij de ingang bevond. Hierdoor werd ik af en toe wakker door mensen die voorbij mijn kamer liepen naar het toilet. Verder is alles top. Als je oordopjes draagt, ervaar je helemaal geen hinder en slaap je heerlijk.

Reviewed Nov 11, 2025The staff was so friendly, they accommodated my late arrival kindly and gave me all the relevant details and a full tour of the place. They nicely mentioned to someone to keep it quiet in the sleeping area. They saw me waiting after one person was taking a long time and quickly checked me out. They surpassed any expectation. While it’s a hostel, you get loads of privacy because the space for each person is separated, it is tastefully designed. Very clean as well. The sheets were soft and bed was comfortable.
For sustainability purposes, I would not give out toiletries in plastic containers. Better to just have those in the shower in bigger recipients.
