    The room had everything we needed, really great value for money. We will absolutely be back in the future as I am through for work often. I even left behind a couple of things that they are happy to hold on to for when we come back!

    It was very informal. The hosts were friendly and it felt like I was a friend they were waiting for. The room was exactly as shown in the photos and having a private bathroom was great. The television is setup so you can sign in to your streaming...

    It was a very comfortable stay. The owners are very friendly and welcoming! It’s a super friendly and welcoming environment, and includes a piano. I would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn’t mind a small hostel outside of the city centre.
