This place is perfect for a stay between flights. The airport transfer organized by the hostel worked perfectly. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is prepared with much love, little 'buffet' with tea, coffee, bread, cake, fruit, fruit juice, jam, butter and they even made eggs for us. ... more
