Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hotel has a great location for sightseeing. A huge advantage is the parking. Rooms are sound proof and it really keeps the B&B chain standards. There are vending machines with snacks and drinks in the lobby. Breakfast was tasty and the food was added according to the growing number of people coming. The staff was very nice.

    Safe garage, when you travel as a stop over and have secure garage, makes you rest better. Nice touch, leaving bowls for a dog and a blanket.

    Great location, walking distance to center; bike rental is super convenient. We could explore the old town and palace with the bike ride.
