“Gezellig, netjes en huiselijk.”

Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cette auberge ! Le personnel est très accueillant, l’auberge est très agréable autant dans la partie commune que dans les chambres. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. La propreté et l’emplacement au top. Petite mention spéciale pour le petit chien Boy qui nous a bien fait rire avec sa folie 🫶🏻

“Nice place to stay for a few nights.”

The communal space and rooms are nice, the room had good AC, the bathroom was cleaned daily, and there was a basic free breakfast (eggs and bread, made to order). The view of the river is nice, though in the dry season the river shrinks a lot lol. I didn’t feel very social and they don’t organize activities there (although you can book tours through them and other guests may also be joining so you can meet people that way). Overall, it’s a perfectly decent place to stay. The hostel is about 20 minutes walk to the town centre, which wasn’t a problem for me. You go through winding narrow paths to get to the hostel – the first time might be confusing lol. There are a lot of aggressive dogs in the area at night, I felt unsettled by that. The hostel also has dogs that live there but they are friendly.

“Zentrale Unterkunft direkt am Fluss”

Symphatisches Hostal, zentral gelegen und doch ruhig; schöner Blick beim Frühstück auf den Fluss; sauber, geräumig, Locker vorhanden; komme gerne wieder
