“This place has a youthful, communal vibe thanks to its hybrid hotel-hostel setup, and the themed rooms definitely tell a story. I think the location is ideal; it's close to both the city center and cultural hotspots like De Hallen. In my opinion, the Kevin Bacon Bar is a real highlight with its Thai cuisine.”

Very nice Themed Hotel-A Total Win!

quiet room comfortable bed simple bus routes happy staff
I stayed in the Tram room, and it was AMAZING!!! The room was surprisingly quiet. The bed was very comfortable, offering a solid night's sleep. The hotel's proximity to the tram made getting around super simple. The staff helped me with everything I needed!
The lighting in the room could have been a bit brighter for reading.
