    16eur - Old Town Munkenhof is in a great location in the Old Town. The hostel was very affordable and perfect for me passing through. I was exploring most of the time so I didn't spend much time in the hostel, but there was several rooms for relaxing and playing games and also a large kitchen. There was complimentary coffee which was really great. Check-in was super easy using the codes and details provided via Booking.com. I really appreciated this

    I've stayed at a lot of hostels and expect to get what I pay for. This was one of the cheapest, but also one of the best. No weird up-charges, no feeling of being watched, just enough security to feel safe, friendly staff, great facilities, very clean. Free towel?! What?

    Good location in a nice and safe neighborhood. Bunk beds were comfy. There were towels and shampoo in the bathroom. The appartment was nicely decorated. The best value for money. You cant have 5* expectations if you pay so cheap so you ignore small details.

    I loved the very clean lines, minimalist design, comfortable bed, great location and good facilities, given it was an e-experience. we loved the shared kitchen facilities and cafe downstairs. Made me feel like I was in a futuristic upmarket youth hostel with the added benefit of not having to clean. loved it. thank you

    To be honest, it's one of the worst hostels I've been to. the dormitory formula if you are on the 2nd floor.. it's Hasbeen! the showers are in the basement! the locker system is not safe. then I took a single room.. it's better but doesn't correspond to the picture of the website where i booked. You are mistaken ! Globally it's not a modern Hostel. Advantages: it's well located. Disappointed! JEAN

    It was super cheap! That is why I preferred to stay there, my trip was a budget one. The location was perfect, and the access system with self-check-in was comfortable, the room space was enough. The hostel has everything you expect from a hostel. I didn't see anyone in reception (or anyone in the entire hostel) even during the open hours. It was ok since everything was clear.

    I stayed at draper startup house for a week. It was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. There is always an event going on and it's great for networking and meeting people. The staff was always super helpful. It is not your standard hostel, it is a place where you would feel like in a family. I would definitely recommend it.
