    This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. They have thought of every detail. It's a beautifully converted building with games and musical instruments in the common areas. The staff are so friendly and helpful and I had a great time...

    The location is excellent - very easy to access from the main station. The hostel was very bright and had a nice rustic design to it. Everything was spotless. The staff was very kind and always happy to help. There’s tons of maps and guide books...
