Top Lage mit kleinen Schwächen

8.0

Tolles Hostel in perfekter Lage! Die Aussicht auf das Opernhaus und den Hafen ist einfach fantastisch. Besonders praktisch ist die gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche, in der man sich selbst versorgen kann. Freundliches Personal, saubere Zimmer und eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Leider hat unser Zimmer nicht den erhofften Ausblick geboten, sondern nur auf eine Hauswand. Außerdem fehlten Haken, um Jacken oder Handtücher aufzuhängen, was im Alltag unpraktisch war. Schade fanden wir auch, dass sich die Klimaanlage nicht individuell einstellen ließ. Mit ein paar Verbesserungen könnte der Aufenthalt noch deutlich angenehmer sein.

Zentrale Lage! Zimmer und alles andere Tipptopp! Immer wieder!

Die Duschtür ließ das Wasser ins Bad rauslaufen.
