A stylish, city-centre hostel mixing private rooms and larger dorms — many private rooms offer en-suite bathrooms while dorms feature bunk beds, individual lockers and included bed linen.

Take in city views from the rooftop terrace and unwind in Bar 50 or the on-site restaurant and café.

An on-site restaurant and Bar 50 serve breakfast, lunch and dinner — buffet breakfasts are available for a fee, while lunch and dinner can be chosen from a set menu or à la carte. You’ll also find a café and snack bar/deli for quick bites and a bar with screens for a lively evening.
