Ich kam an nach Mitternacht, ausserhalb der Oeffnungszeiten der Rezeption, dies war natuerlich kein Problem, denn ich erhielt einen Code fuer die Eingangs- und Zimmertuer. ich war sehr muede und hungrig von der Reise und auf dem Kuechentisch lagen Broetchen, Kekse und Obst fuer mich, worueber ich mich sehr freute. Auch wenn ich nur sehr kurz blieb, das Hostel ist sehr gemuetlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, es ist sehr sauber, der Besitzer ist sehr herzlich und man hat das Gefuehl Zuhause zu sein. Ich wuerde dieses Hostel auf jeden Fall wieder buchen falls ich einmal zurueckkomme. ##### Alexandra Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chantal 14 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Angenehmer Aufenthalt, sehr freundliche Gastgeber Die Gastgeber kontaktierten uns frühzeitig, um das Check-in zu organisieren.
