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.

    Great location, next to the metro station. Staff were friendly. Clean and spacious room. We were able to leave our luggage with them after check out. Good for a night's stay. Room had a kettle. Beds were comfy.

    Modern, spacious and clean room, with the best sound proofed windows I have come across, the hotel is well located within easy walking distance of most places of interest & an easy bus ride from the train station. The buffet breakfast was good & the staff I dealt with were friendly (the lady at reception when I checked in was lovely)

    Great location and quiet. The staff were great. We booked Vision Apartments at the last minute as we left our other accommodation as it was poor. Vision Apartments staff responded to our requests promptly. The 2 apartments we booked were clean and comfortable, and had all necessary facilities. When the bathroom tap leaked, we were moved to another apartment within an hour.

    Before booking this hostel I had a really terrible night. I felt very bad but thanks to Mösyö Philipa I felt better and safe. He was very helpful. I spent the whole day in my room because I didn't want to go anywhere but only sleep and rest. So I cannot say more about the facility but the staff were all smiling and helpful. Thank you so much Mösyö Philipa.
