I’m a woman in my 40s and this is the first time I stay in a hostel. I was very concerned about staying at Balmers because I thought it would be super noisy and full of unruly young guests. I opted for the 6 women bedroom, and had a wonderful time. I met amazing people, mostly younger than me, but that did not stop us from hanging out and having fun. I spent 12 nights at the facility, met people from all over the world, and had a wonderful time. My bedroom was located at the front of the build, so I had no issue with the nightclub noise. The employees made sure that guests who were having fun outside were not loud at night so that others could sleep. I brought my earplugs and eye covers to make sure I’d sleep well. Central perfect location (15 minutes pleasant walk to train station). Nice restaurants and grocery stores close by. $16 to wash clothes on the side building. They have hair dryers for guests at the front office free of charge. Showers are clean and have liquid soap. Fully equipped kitchen. I only ran out of hot water once in 12 days. Amazing and friendly cleaning staff. I’d definitely recommend this place. The nightclub was bad and most people wouldn’t go (including younger ones). I’d suggest having karaoke nights instead of it as it’s much more fun. Thanks again! 🙂
