Good "garage", bike place to store overnight. Good breakfast. Pupils from schools can be a bit noisy. But hostel usually very quiet after 10pm

Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach, das war auch nicht das Problem. Allerdings ist die Aufteilung so dass das Bad zwar in einem extra Raum ist, Waschbecken aber im Gemeinschaftsraum. Wenn der erste aufsteht kommen die anderen nicht mehr zur Ruhe. Handtücher es nicht, wie auch für die Etagenbetten-Zimmer angegeben, inklusive. Wir mussten sie nachzahlen. Wir hätten auch welche mitgebracht, dafür muss es aber auch wissen. Wenigstens ein Stück Seife für die Hände hätten wir aber erwartet. Frühstück ist überschaubar, aber auch als Veganer bekommt man einen veganen Aufstrich, Margarine, Obst, Gurken und auf Anfrage pflanzliche Milch für Müsli. Das nächste Mal würden wir wohl doch eine etwas komfortablere Unterkunft wählen. Der Schlaf wäre es uns wert.
