Insider Tip

Legend R.G

This hostel has rooms that are split between two buildings. Each floor has a kitchen and the atmosphere feels a bit like a college dorm. The evening happy hours with wine and snacks are a great way to meet other travelers, but there's no pressure to hang out if you're more interested in sticking to yourself.

The hostel is also conveniently close to the train station, but in a great area with small, affordable restaurants. If the breakfast of coffee and a pastry isn't enough, there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite before you head out to explore the city.

The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has four, five, and six bed dorms that are either co-ed or female only. The rooms was basic but clean. The beds are bunk beds, which are a bit wobbly, but the rooms themselves are large and comfortable. They also have en-suite bathrooms.

Private Rooms

The hostel also has twin and double private rooms available. These rooms have nice furnishings and comfortable beds. They're a great option for any travelers who want the amenities of a hostel (kitchen, common areas) but still want their own private space and a little more comfort.

Bathrooms

The bathrooms are cleaned daily. They have modern fixtures and are a decent size, but the hot water could be stronger. The convenience of having an en-suite bathroom is nice and there is rarely a wait for the shower.

Common Areas

This hostel is split between two buildings, which can make socializing a bit difficult depending on where you're staying. There's a large television lounge where you can relax and hang out. There are also kitchens available to guests where you can cook your own meals. This is particularly convenient as there is a supermarket very close by. If you have a late flight out, the staff is ok with you hanging out in the lobby, which is a nice plus.

They're also very relaxed and will store your luggage before you check in or after you check out. If you need to hang out for a while before your flight, that's not a problem either.

Heads Up

The biggest complaint with this hostel is the wobbly and squeaky bunk beds. Some people feel the bathrooms could be cleaner, but the actual dorm rooms are kept pretty clean.
