Even though we don't operate our own shuttle service, we've teamed up with Welcome Pickups to provide our guests with a convenient and comfortable ride to the hostel. Once you book your stay with us, you'll get an email with details about the shuttle service. You can easily book it directly from the email or by clicking on theses links:
