It was near everything that I needed to be and it was very easy to get around, the room and the bed was very clean and fresh. I got there almost at midnight and I had difficulties getting in to the room, needless to say it was me not correctly following the instructions provided, I called and the person in charge was very polite and walked me through and guided me to get in my room even it was very late.

It' located in a safe area and the Hostel makes sure that only guests can enter. It's very cheap and you get a lot for the price! The WLan is working perfectely. They have a huge kitchen. There's a restaurant right next to the Hostel. The Hostel is located perfectly! There's a underground trainstation just around the corner. Very well done.
LauraSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: £122.997.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 2,855 reviewsSolid overall for a cheap price both private and shared rooms. Friendly staff, great location, and generally very good facilities, plus a nice albeit pricey bar.DavidSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: £80.818.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 4,011 reviewsBeautiful situated and close to trams and the lake. Friendly staff and vibrant feel. But also bit worn down. Beds are to soft and uncomfy. It was more a budget family place than a hostel with a lot of small children. Not a bad thing but not really what we were expecting. Breakfast was humble but can get you on your way. No real healthy options. But there is a community kitchen and fridge to store some cheese or other things for breakkie Chicago is expensive and this place was on the cheaper side so you cant expect golden halls
JorisYoung couple - Avg. price/night: £161.667.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 4,270 reviewsLovely reception area with attached coffee/ bar shop. Well presented room - at first glance I was a little underwhelmed as room is rather small and the windows dirty on the outside however I couldn’t be more impressed with the comfort, cleanliness and facilities. The room included all the toiletries you could require, a very good and large shower, a good hairdryer and a working safe, good lighting, lots of plugs and mirrors. Great location too, would highly recommend!JessicaSolo traveller
