If you follow Google Maps, it may take you on a much longer route. Instead, ask the hostel staff for a shortcut — it's actually not far from the station.
During the football season, it can be a bit noisy until around 11 p.m.
7 / 10Good·May 2026
Great location, good value for money, decent breakfast, 24h reception, staff is welcoming and great and very helpful. Safe for a solo female traveller.
Cleanliness is not the best and a bit noisy but other than that everything else was great for the money i paid

good value for money, beds were comfortable, charging outlets built into the beds
the hostel is right across the street from an outdoor sports bar which was very noisy at night
