How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

From a 9 m² single to a 16 m² dorm: private rooms and shared beds
Every room here has a city view. The 9 m² singles, doubles and twins are the smallest. The 16 m² dorm rooms are the largest, though each bed in a six-bed dorm sleeps one person.
The main choice within the same footprint is private versus shared bathroom. Doubles, singles and twins come in both versions. The quadruple, with one queen and two twin beds, sleeps up to 5 and suits a small group of friends travelling together.

An independent hostel with a wheelchair-accessible restaurant
This is an independent hostel and backpacker accommodation, not part of a chain. It has a wheelchair-accessible on-site restaurant, which matters for guests with mobility needs.
The property is adults-only and does not allow pets, so the atmosphere is one of adult travellers only, whether in a dorm or a private room.
Check-in from 13:00, check-out by 10:30; no children, no pets
Check-in opens at 13:00. The latest check-in is 08:00 the following morning, which accommodates very late arrivals. Check-out is by 10:30.
Children are not permitted at any time. Pets are not permitted.
Who this hostel suits and who it does not
The dorms, singles and compact doubles suit solo travellers and backpackers who want a bed close to the major sights without a full hotel room.
This is not a property for families: children are not allowed. The rooms are compact, from 9 m² to 16 m², and several share a bathroom. Both airports are more than 30 km away in a straight line.
