    It looked more like a hotel with a full-fleged bathroom inside appartment

    Nice clean rooms and clean bathroom, nice lounge area, access to a kitchen, short walk from the train and bus station.

    Super close to the main train station, not too far to walk into the town and main market place. We had a private room with an ensuite and you wouldn't know it was a hostel, very generous size room and bathroom, we had a great view.
