Summary: The Good part:
The hostel is very cute and cosy botique hotel style.
I loved the common rest space where you can hang out.
The place is spotless and the location is excelent.
The bad part:
Most of the gests were desapointed as the room description stated that breakfast was included but there was no breakfest served to any of the guests.
Luckilly there was a well equiped kitchen where you can prépare the food that you ca buy for yourself.
My bed was next to the window that overlooked a parking lot lit through the whole night and the curtens were not thik enogh to block the light which felt almost like daylight.
Not very pratical for sleeping.
Also you have to make your own bed upon arival which can inconvient for your sleeping roommates if you arrive late at night.

Summary: It was nice to stay in a hostel that has a lift. Reception were lovely. Not many showers on each floor but it did the job. It didn't say it included breakfast but online reviews said it did and on the back of the room door it said breakfast served between 7am and 9am which made me confused. It would of been nice to have curtains around the beds like other hostels I've been in but it was still okay.
The building work occasionally started early outside the window but the noise didn't go on all day.

Summary: It's the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. The exterior was under renovation as well as the elevator during our stay, but I wouldn't hold that against them. It was perfectly fine accommodations for a few nights.
