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.

    I wish it was a bit more reasonable in price. For me too expensive. It has a gym which is a bonus. If it was cheaper I would come more often.

    Great location only 5-10 minutes walk from the train station and 5-10 minutes from the centre of town. Apartment was well appointed with everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Instructions for entry to Apartment clear and precise would highly recommend a stay here.

    I tend to stay in the Budget hostel rather than the attached Martini Hotel because the private hostel rooms are much less dusty (no carpet, thinner curtains, newer bathrooms). With more hard surfaces, they seem cleaner. This time, I was given a room with twin beds (not the usual bunks), and the bathroom contained soap and shower gel, which I don't remember from previous visits. Ok, there is no desk or wardrobe, but you don't always need those. Staff are helpful, and let me check in early.

    The Hotel has a great location in the very heart of the city center, great accessibility to the nearby shops, restaurants and bars. The rooms are spacious, with modern decoration in various colors. You will find a fridge, a safe as well as shampoo and body wash. A hairdryer is also provided. The staff is exceptionally friendly and very eager to help and give recommend accommodations for your stay. They will make you feel very welcome. This is the second time we’ve stayed in this hotel and we simply love it.

    Super courteous staff, atmosphere, architecture & decoration are very well done, I had a lovely breakfast, with fresh toast, smoked salmon, French cheese... Diner in home is star-worth and reasonably priced. Parking went smooth and safe. I would definitely recommend this venue to people who can appreciate style and good taste.
