"Cozy like staying at a friend's house"

10.0

what i liked the most was the cozy vibe of the place, it really felt like staying at a friend’s house, something that’s quite rare these days when many hostels focus more on a chic, design-forward style. my room had a nice view and the bed was very comfy. the shared kitchen was lovely, and i appreciated that the owner provided separate bins for different types of waste, which is great for the environment. the owner and staff were super nice and helpful. there’s also a spot outside the house where you can hang out, but unfortunately it rained the whole time i was there. very close to the intercity bus stop, though you do have to walk uphill a bit.

the walls are a bit thin and not very soundproof, so as a light sleeper, i did wake up when the guests next door left early in the morning. But it's acceptable overall. They weren't that loud actually.
