Welcome to Home Made Hostel! If you are looking for a home from home place, book here. Being located in a beautiful apartment of a 19th century building in the city centre, we offer something different than usual 'bunk-bed' hostels do.

Please take a look at our promotion video to get a sense of our hostel.

Please note that the private double ensuite room is an apartment (studio flat) located next door in the corridor. For details, please read 'Room description'.
