This is a great hostel for a solo trip. It's on the second level of building, with some of the windows opening to the street. Late night you'll hear some young people shout, as sound echoes strongly in the old town corridors, but that's par for the course and I think adds experiencing the local culture. Check-in was simple and quick. The friendly host spoke English and drew out some local attractions on a map. The rooms are simple, but cute. Not the softest beds, but not the hardest for a hostel either. From what I could tell, I didn't see a dormitory style room in there. It's a hostel in the sense that you share a kitchen and bathrooms. The walls were pretty thick so I didn't hear anything once inside my room. The common space, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedding were well-kept and extremely clean. As it is a hostel, you'll want to bring a towel if you don't want to pay to rent. I walked from the train station and pretty easily found my way within 15 minutes. At night, I wandered the streets around there and throughout the city without any safety issues (granted I'm male). I was looking for a relaxing place where I could explore the city on my own. Though the rooms were mostly booked at the end of May, I hardly ran into any other guests. The surrounding area is very residential, so many of the shops and restaurants are frequented by them instead of hoards of tourists. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.
