    It's a large old building in a beautiful location. Good value for money. I was able to change from a very large busy dorm thanks to the friendly and helpful reception person,to a quieter one which made a difference. Affordable!

    Simple, functional rooms. In my case with a nice view. Imposing building. Old school youth hostel. I heard the trains, but I do not bother, yet even like it. Besides that, it was absolutely quiet.
