Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    It's a fun hostel to stay. Don't expect great comfort, as it meant to recreate a prison experience. I love the small prison museum at the ground floor and it gave quite a bit of historical context. Also we got let out at the end :)

    It was so cosy up in the „Queen Elisabeth“-Room, I slept really well. And even though the City Center is only a two-minute-bikeride away, it was very quiet. So I left fully energized to continue my trip not without a friendly message from my host wishing me a safe journey.

    The Hostel is nice and clean and the receptionist even asked me if I'm okay with the other guests in the dormitory (I'm young and female and all other guests male and at least ten years older then I)
