    Lack of lockers for packs, though there were small ones for valuables. First floor room 1.1 especially you could hear all the noise from the room above due to the timber floors, except for those things it was enjoyable.

    Good facilities/set up. Nice outdoor area. Good position as close to everything.

    Unpleasant Odor and Missing Socket, but Enjoyable Breakfast
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room had an unpleasant odor that persisted throughout my stay, which greatly affected my comfort. Additionally, there was no socket near the bed, making it inconvenient to charge devices.

    On the positive side, the breakfast provided was enjoyable, with a good variety of options. the hostel's location was a notable advantage. It was conveniently situated in a good location, allowing for easy access to nearby attractions, shops, and restaurants. This aspect added convenience and made exploring the area more enjoyable.

    The lockers do not have a lock, so bring your own.

    The location was very close to the train station, a little bit further than the center but at a walkable distance. The place was clean and the staff was nice. You need to pay a little extra for towels.

    they sold me a fake bus ticket for the day for 7.50, it didn't work on any of the buses and when I got back to ask about it, no one was there.

    very clean and I liked the travel vibe. the sheets were soft too.

    Common room could have nicer tables but that is a matter of preference.

    The Hostel is very well organized in general. There is a kitchen that is fully equiped with an oven and all the kitchen tools you would need. The hostel is extremely clean and tidy. The hostel has strict rules on noize in the evening and eating in the room. If you are looking for a very wild hostel this place might not be for you. But if you are looking for a nice place that is neat you will be satisfied.

    The other guests were very inconsiderate, the quiet hours were between 08.00-10.00 yet there was a noise coming from a room on our floor from 07.00 with women and children banging doors and running around and dancing about and singing.

    Very good value for money

    Location isnt bad but not ideal. My room faced the street and was a bit overlooked. The internet connection was poor. Finally and the only thing that really bothered me, it was soooo noisy. The doors slamming on the corridor felt like it was inside my room really. People walking upstairs made a lot more noise than should. Even though I was on a private I had to use earplugs. Also, wish there was some indirect lighting in the room which would make it more cosy.

    I was on a private room, the art on the wall was amazing. The room was quiet warm. The toillet was large and super clean. Bed and pillows were comfy. I liked the common areas as well.
