Close to the nice areas around the river and not a long walk from the station. The hostel also has two bikes that can be borrowed free of charge, and although unfortunately one of the bikes were broken, we were able to borrow bikes for free from the city - Nice! The interior of the hostel is super nice and cozy, and the hosts are very kind and always helpful. Only downsides were that it was quite cold in the house and the bar seemed to be closed (so we could not use our drink discount tickets) but it is also quite understandable as we were the only ones there our first night. Would stay again! ##### Mikael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [BelleVue Aquarius Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-BelleVue-Aquarius-Apartments.h904028.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d2205-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Jumeirah Emirates Towers Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Jumeirah-Emirates-Towers.h486304.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Marina Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Vilamoura.h891222.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Berlin City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Berlin-City-Centre.h1172257.Hotel-Information) > > [JAZ Mirabel Resort – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Jaz-Mirabel-Resort.h1509163.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a View in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-View.0-0-d178279-thotelwithaview.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Sleepover Doha South Node – formerly sleep ‘n fly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doha-Hotels-Sleep-N-Fly-Sleep-Lounge.h49196760.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels.d6069845.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Burgas (BOJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/boj/newcastle-to-bourgas) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Adelaide (ADL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/adl/manchester-to-adelaide) ### Packages > [Port of Olbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Of-Olbia-Olbia.d6181892.Attraction) > > [Jumeirah Beach Residence Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jumeirah-Beach-Residence.d6258785.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Brienz Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brienz.d6034344.Holidays-City-Breaks)
