Hostel Barbarossa is a youth hostel set in the historic city center of Nijmegen, 350 m from the Grote Markt.

Most rooms feature a bunk bed, the private room have a Queen-sized bed. Rooms are fitted with a shared bathroom.

The hotel is 5 minutes from the bus stop to the city centre. The staff are kind, and the lounge, kitchen, bedroom and toilets are very clean. Coffee can be made in the morning and the cooker is available. For a short stay in the city, on a modest income, I would recommend a stay in Barbarosa.

    Great location and easy to get the bus to Nijmegen centraal as the stop is right outside. Right in the centre of everything so easy access to shops and restaurants. Has windows that open so you can get fresh air. The room was pretty clean and felt clean. Good space and set up in the room. Also, saw that you can turn on heat if you need it. They dropped off fresh towels and toilet paper by the door even when I had the no disturb sign on the door. First drinks were free on my first order from the kitchen. Food was really good too!

    The hotel was incredibly easy to locate in the middle of the city. The staff were so accomodating when I let them know I may be running late - they waited to check me in. Everything I needed was easily accessible and reception was always on hand to help. This was my first solo trip and I felt very safe here.
