We really enjoyed our stay at Balmers! While I would say this place is for a younger crowd, I think there is something for everyone! They have nightly events (Trivia, sunset outings, movies, etc) and are located in a great location central to everything you could need!

This was a good hostel but not great. The “J” rooms need a shower that’s closer. Maybe convert the kitchen that was out of order.

if you like to sleep DO NOT STAY HERE it is sooooooo loud at night and you can hear everything through the walls. The doors are so loud and you can hear every conversation through the walls. We also booked a “Private 8 Person Dorm” which said “Room Facilities- Bathroom” So we assumed it had a bathroom but no they are communal bathrooms which is in the very small print. Very misleading.

Walkable to restaurant, coffee shops , bakery and transporation. Just few steps infront of Balmers. People are nice. Easy to get lost inside the place on your first day but we will for sure stay again in some day.

Balmer's has a ton of character! I really liked the different common areas for hanging out, and the kitchen was massive with lots of fridges. It's great if you want to cook your own meals. The under the bed storage bins for each person were a nice touch. Unfortunately, it did get a bit hot at night with only a non-oscillating fan. The bus stops right outside made getting around super easy. They also offer activities for guests (I didn’t join any), but it definitely had a social vibe. Overall, a great stay!

Nothing fancy. Bit hot but the fan did the work. It also helped reducing the street noise. A good place to spend couple of nights.

Our room is in attic and right across the washing area, for some reason every time the toilet flushes we can hear a loud gurgling sound in the room and there always are people talking very late at night, this is not a place for light sleeper and I did not rest well during my stay. I like the well equipped public kitchen and there is coop nearby so cooking was nice and easy.
