"Toller Service…. Sehr zu empfehlen Die Ankunft war leider etwas holprig, es wurde aber alles versucht uns glücklich zu machen, konnten sogar am nächsten Morgen noch das Zimmer wechseln! Für mich ein Nachteil sind die zu schmalen und teilweise zu hellen Vorhänge, so dass man das Zimmer nicht richtig dunkel bekommt. Ich habe dort schon in drei Zimmern übernachtet und es war in allen Zimmern so."

"Wir waren für zwei Nächte in dem Hostel. Es fing schonmal damit an, dass ich keine Mail mit dem Zugangscode und weiteren Infos erhalten habe.

Leider kam dieser durch die Lüftung im Bad. Hauptsache es...
