Me and my friend stayed at the Rainbow Hostel for a week and it has been one of the best experiences ever. The staff is amazing, they are kind and customer-friendly. The hostel has an great character and we (and other people) felt at home from the day we arrived. This resulted in making lots of friends and great nights... more

I stayed here in 1999. WOW!!! What a way to travel. Although it has been almost 10 years since I've been, I see the photos and it doesn't seem to have changed much. I loved the atmosphere.

It's been a while since I have been there, but this was one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. Nice common room with a large, massive table, sitting by the oven, playing the piano... man, I miss those days. more
