A nice hostel to visit and within walking distance of everywhere. We had a private ensuite, which made our stay great and the breakfast and cheap drinks were value for money.

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again

2nd time I've stayed here, perfect location for access to the city and station. The staff are all beyond lovely and happy to help! I would suggest booking double bunks rather than triple if you want a bit more room to sit on your bed etc! Great place very affordable, friendly, clean and comfy!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked a private room and were surprised that it was a tiny bunk room with hardly any space to walk around. The en-suite bathroom reminded us of a campground bathroom. Even though it had a private bathroom, we still had to pay for towels. WiFi in the room was so slow we couldn’t even book tickets for sites the next day, much less stream a movie. We checked out after one night, even though we paid for three. Would NOT recommend the private room unless you plan to use it for sleeping ONLY.

The area was in a great location. My room had a private bathroom but no hot water for the shower. The room was also cold with no way to turn up the heat. The hostel makes you pay for a towel and service can be a bit slow. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The views from the window were stunning.
