Hostel Roots

REVIEW OF MY STAY IN HOSTEL ROOTS TINY HOUSE (which is located off the premises of the primary Hostel Roots location -- contact them for more information) ------------ My stay in the Hostel Roots Tiny House was absolutely fabulous! The amenities were top-notch and the accommodations were spectacular! I chose the Tiny House over the primary location of Hostel Roots because I wanted my "own place" (private) for the duration of my stay. You check in at their primary location on Stationsstraat. They provide you with a binder full of information about your stay, your key, and plenty of coupons to local businesses. The primary location has a common area with lots of board games, a friendly staff, a pool table and a basement bar! If you need them to hold your luggage for a period of time, they are also more than happy to do so. As you enter your tiny house (they have a total of two tiny houses) and turn the corner, you're greeted with your room, complete with an intimate balcony overlooking the street, sidewalk, and foileage (landscaping) and a almost a full kitchen (sink, induction cooktop/stove, refrigerator/freezer, and a full assortment of plates, utensils, pots, pans, and more! The balcony provides light and a small sofa to set on as you peer over the railing. There of course is also your own bathroom and shower. All the amenities worked without any issue. There are plenty of electrical outlets, lights, and USB charging ports. There is no air conditioning, but that was not a problem, even in August! However, there is a fan that you can plug in and use. Coffee (a Nespresso machine w/ coffee pods) and a various assortment of tea is provided complimentary. I slept incredibly well all 4 nights I stayed there at the end of August, 2024. I was able to store some things I picked up at the supermarket in the refrigerator and experienced no problems using the cooktop/stove. The shower provided plenty of room to move around in, so it did not feel like you were packed in a sardine can/tin.

Came here for an ACAPA Audition! Great because it's not too far from the train station and the university where the audition was. Super friendly staff. And nearly no noise from the road. Showers pretty clean. However, I did find bugs in the bed and sometimes the cards would stop working and prevent us to come in.( I was in a shared dorm room with some other people who auditioned and was not the only one to have this problem. Overall good stay, just sis not like the bugs.
