Self check-in on arrival<\/h4><\/div>

The reception is open every day from 9 AM to 12 PM and from 6 PM to 9 PM on weekdays, and from 9 AM to 1 PM on weekends and holidays. If you arrive at the hostel outside of these hours, don’t worry. You can use our 24-hour check-in terminal.
It is very intuitive to use, but if you have any problems, you can call the emergency assistance phone number that appears next to the terminal and on the entrance door. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the touch screen and have your identity document or passport ready.

Here are examples of how to position the international code of the identity document to scan it below.<\/strong><\/em>
The scanner is located a little further down the screen. If you place the international code facing up, the data will be entered automatically.
