1. Kumo Hostels

Kumo Hostels
Binnenstad
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (55 reviews)
"The stay made me gain trust in staying in hostels again! The place seems super new, everything is extremely clean and well organized and therefore I felt very comfortable!! The night I stayed was a pretty calm night and the room not nearly at full capacity. The location is right in the center and e.g. a bus stop very close as well as supermarkets and other stores. Loved it!!"
