I recently had the opportunity to volunteer for one month at this Hostel and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the enriching experience I had. First, the Hostel itself is very good, has an unique charm, positive vibe and is centrally located. The tasks were particularly in housekeeping but only the reception duties, as mentioned in the Worldpackers description, did not take place during my stay. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. A special thank you to the manager that were open to help. I left with gratitude, memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

I have no words to thank everything I experienced these days volunteering. The people here are friendly, they always helped me when I needed it, and I was able to connect with people from all over the world! I want to say a huge thank you to the Manager Stefan for great leadership, for being open to opinions and for always wanting the best for the Hostel. I will keep in my memory and in my heart everything I experienced here.
