Hostel Ani & Haakien has become my home away from home. I feel quite emotional writing this review as I am completely staggered by how attached I have become to a place in such a short time - I only booked for 5 days but ended up staying for two weeks! The people who work here have become like my family and I have never felt so at home in a new and foreign country. It was the best decision I have ever made to stay at the hostel to meet new people and find my feet in a new city - if only every city in the world had a Hostel Ani & Haakien!!! The rooms, kitchen and bathroom were always super super clean and I really always felt at home. The hostel often hosts fun events and on Thursdays pasta night is a great way to bond with fellow travelers. The free breakfast is also a great perk and the services that the hostel provide make it a perfect option for any kind of traveler - working, exploring, or just visiting the city for a good time! I really cannot emphasize enough how great my stay at the hostel was. I moved into a temporary flat today and am already missing the great vibe and awesome people ;)

The only thing that was a bit of a downfall was the fact that the floors in the dorm rooms are quite squeaky so it gets quite noisy when people are missioning around in the dorms and hallways. But otherwise I give the hostel TOP MARKS for friendliness, cosy-ness, cleanliness, general warmth and just a absolutely great atmosphere. BEST. HOSTEL. EVER!!
