Excellent breakfast. Everything beautifully clean. Rooms small, and we got bunk beds although the room was described as a double. A lot of people arrived about midnight and were very noisy. Apart from that, great.

Very cool place to stay. The guy working at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was better than most you'll find at a hostel. The lounge was cozy and a relaxing place to hang out.

Cosy and very close to the city center. Though the rooms were extremely small, I could still stretch my 1,9 meter in the bed.

Good location and nice and quiet. The rooms were tiny and the showers extra tiny (and a bit smelly) but great value for money.

It seemed like a cool idea, but since its on a boat, the room was FREEZING! It i cheap but not the most convenient place or the most worth your money.

The breakfast was much better than average and the manager was super helpful and friendly. The only issues i had was the smell from the drains in the bathrooms is quite overwhelming and unfortunately close to the rooms, also the walls between rooms (rooms are cabin sized) are very thin and can be quite noisy. Good place for the price.

We were there only for the weekend and this place is perfect for those who want a nice and quiet stay for a night or two. The rooms are extremely small so if you need space there might be better options. However, for short stays this hotel is excellent and the breakfast is superb!

No better deal for the solo traveller. All the rooms are single bunk bed cabins. Pay the price for one bed and you don't have to pay for the other. You get the room to yourself. The buffet breakfast rocks. Easy stroll to the Red Light District. Yea, the cabins are small, but what do you need more than a comfortable bed to sleep in? I found it more than sufficient. It's not really for the traveller looking to meet people at the hostel itself. It's for the one's wanting to go out and then have a quiet bed to come back to. Totally recommend it. I'll stay here every time I rerurn.

very nice staff, nice atmosphere and character, though the rooms are actually tiny cells - not very comfortable and not for claustrophobic people.
