Schönes Zimmer, Kontaktloses check in.
Ungünstig war nur das vorige abstellen von Gepäck. Check in war erst ab 15:00 möglich und kein Ansprechpartner, wo man das hinterlegen könnte. Also mussten wir wieder zurück zum hbf und dort das Gepäck lagern.
Auch braucht man eine Nummer zum einchecken, welche Angeblich in der Mail Bestätigung enthalten sein sollte. Dort war sie aber nicht. Erst nach langer suche war sie über die expedia app einsehbar. Und selbst dort nicht gut ausgeschildert.
Hilfreich wäre, schon im Vorfeld zu sagen, dass diese Nummer benötigt wird und wo sie zu finden ist.
Väldigt rent, fräscha toaletter och dusch och inte trångt trots många gäster. Bekväma sängar. Mycket prisvärt. Passar den självständige!

Da mein Vater schon älter ist und daher mit der ganzen selbst Check in nicht klar kommt und eher friert, hat man für ihn eingecheckt und eine 2. Decke zur Verfügung gestellt. Dahwr super Service.

Despicable
I arrive at 2am and there was not reception. They claim the sent me an email with a code to do the check in with a machine installed at the door, but I got no email. Therefore I had to spend the night outdoors. They did not care the slightest, not even as to refund my money for a night I didnt use.

Ein schönes Hostel mit Vintage Flair und besonderen Charm. Sauber geführt. Service und Housekeeping Personal sind
sehr freundlich. Der Biergarten mit Schöner Bepflanzung. Die Inhaber des Hostels sind dort anzutreffen und man spürt das ,das Hostel eine Seele hat.
Bis zum nächsten Mal!

지난번의 경험이 마음에 들어 다시 투숙하게 되었습니다. 저렴하지만 시설은 어디에도 밀리지 않고 위치나 교통편까지 좋습니다. 지난번과 달리 락커에 본인의 자물쇠를 거는것이 아닌 프론트에서 보증금을 내고 키를 빌리는 방식으로 바뀌었습니다

Al ver las fotos me generó una espectativa que no se cumplió. Me quedé en una habitación con 7 personas más y hacían demasiado ruido y fue muy difícil descansar.

One night in a dorm
The dorm was ok except a locker could have been a bit larger. The location was good as it was close to the airport as I had an early flight but also close to many attractions.

Милый отель недалеко в паре километров от центра города. В номерах производится ежедневная уборка, душевые и туалеты достаточно чистые. На кухне имеется все необходимое. Есть удобная зона отдыха. В целом отель интересно оформлен, на ресепшене всегда играет приятная музыка. Персонал отзывчивый.
