AQ is the most centrally located accommodation in town, you are just a few minutes' walk to everything and at night we guarantee you'll sleep soundly as there are no bars directly by us.

AQ's balcony spaces are the best in town and a great place to enjoy a drink in the sun. The lounge and dining areas are spacious for a small hostel, which allows plenty of room to chill out, work nomadically or meet new friends. You'll be cooking up a feast in our superbly equipped kitchen that features everything from crockpot's to food processors.

Our friendly staff can help you plan your activities, as well as a separate storage/locker room with secure bicycle parking and ski & snowboard storage. We offer loads of free stuff, and even provide a simple laundry service.

Perfect hostel, great for meeting people, but also fine if you'd rather have a quiet time. Very comfy beds, helpful staff and lots to do.

One of the absolute best hostels I’ve stayed in - Jackie, Timo, Toby, and Liliana were super friendly, helpful, and attentive. Great group of long termers and backpackers. Comfy beds. Nice bathrooms. Can’t wait to return!
