"Interesting place - no staff, self check-in, clean and good facilities. The self checkin code to collect the key wad hidden in an email, whereas you are lead to believe it's on the 'guest web portal'. So took me a while to find the code in the relevant email on arrival. The check-in, including various emails and online portals is a bit complicated. "

"This was a wonderful hostel to stay at! The host was very kind and caring, they were flexible with our arrival time, and prepared food for us in good time (and they catered to vegans and the food itself was very nice!). The hostel itself was very clean, it has a nice garden, it is near a river. Very good relaxation spot!"

Boutique Hotel Wellenberg

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spotless and so nice the location was second to none in the area and the restaurants surrounding the hotel are amazing! We had a great time over Carnival weekend and so many really interesting events happened right in the square out front our flight was cancelled last minute on Saturday and they let us stay no problem for one more night. It was a great end to our 3 week Europe vacation."
