According to our operating concept, our hostel is intended for all tourists who need temporary accommodation. We treat all our guests, employees and partners with respect and equality. We want to create an equal and diversity-friendly atmosphere, where all our guests feel they can be themselves as they are. Our hostel is a safe non-discrimination zone and we do not accept any kind of derogatory speech or behavior from anyone. You are welcome in our hostel no matter who you are or who you love.
Our accommodation prices are dynamic. The prices vary daily according to the current demand. More demand for a night means higher prices for that night and correspondingly lower demand means lower prices. The demand situation is usually increasing day after day, so it is always advisable to make the best possible accommodation in good time before the prices have time to rise.

There are 15 bicycle racks in our backyard and 10 more racks in our backyard garage. There is a charging option for electric bike batteries in connection with both. Rack spaces cannot be reserved in advance, and they are not intended for motorcycles. Our garage has a bicycle maintenance rack, a few tools, the possibility to charge the batteries of electric bicycles and the possibility to wash the bicycle. Our backyard and garage are equipped with recording camera surveillance, but bicycle parking is always done at your own risk, and the hostel does not take responsibility for bicycles, etc., so we recommend using an adequate lock (for example, a chain lock). It is not allowed to bring bicycles or electric bicycle batteries into the room.
Eurohostel is proud to be a bike friendly hostel – more information here!
