    A lovely hostel with beautiful touches, the property is located in the city centre with access to a tramline right on its doorstep. They offer free earplugs which was a lovely added service for a hostel. It was also really clean. There is a space to prepare basic meals and a wonderful room to eat with a beautiful view of the river.

    A few stops out from the centre at Technopark but an easy 10min ride in to the centre. A couple of small museums nearby, Gestallt and Finance, the room is small (for a family) but the breakfast is the main selling point. There are some eating places at Escher which are OK and a park with a beer garden where the locals congregate which is an easy walk.

    The breakfast was lovely and the service friendly and prompt and efficient. The location is excellent with the very frequent tram service just 1 minute walk away. The view from the roof terrace was just lovely too. The reception staff were very friendly (as were the locals) and very helpful. The Junior Suite was comfortable too.
