Room types

Olé Backpackers Hostel offers four bed options in mixed shared dormitories, all intended for one guest per bed. You can choose a room with 4, 6, 8 or 12 beds; their floor areas are 20, 25, 24 and 40 m² respectively. The eight-bed option has a bunk bed; the other categories have a single bed. The 12-bed dormitory is the largest, while the four-bed option has the fewest beds and covers 20 m².

All four options have air conditioning and soundproofing, as well as bed linen, a socket near the bed and a seating area. Facilities include a coffee machine, fridge, microwave, iron and kitchenware, although the bathroom is shared. So your choice mainly depends on the size of the dormitory and the number of beds: from the 20 m² option to the 40 m² room for 12 travellers. Lockers and individual reading lamps complete the dormitory facilities.
