- Avg. price/night: £72.299.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,730 reviewsBest hostel I’ve stayed in, even better than a hotel. Rooms were very comfy and nice. Outside the window was a bit loud, so had the keep the windows closed. But excellent picturesque place and middle in the city centre. Great for going to the castle as well
StijnGroup - Avg. price/night: £72.299.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,730 reviewsOne of the best hostels I've been at. The location was a stones throw from the old city but not on a bar street. Also right below the castle. The staff was exceptionally kind. There are multiple kitchens and bathrooms with complimentary tea and snack. The private bedroom was quite large, comfortable and had good light. Thank you for a great stay!!
