Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had a ensuite room, was nice and quiet and nice touch to have outside seating, staff super friendly, rooms could do with some updating but it is a hostel. Bed was comfortable, a nice to have would be instructions on how to use the heater as it did get a little chilly at night. Overall a good stay. Nothing to do with the hostel, but can be tricky to find places to eat on a Monday night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a quaint place to stay that was within walking distance of a cute cafe and shops. The wifi wasn’t very reliable unless you were near the closest outside wall, but worked well there. Overall, it was clean enough, the TV had cable, and the beds weren’t too uncomfortable. I would recommend staying here again!

Great especially for the price.

Perfect location. I’m traveling with my 5&3 year old and the bunk bed was perfect. Quiet and the person running it let me do laundry past closing (it’s outside so the sound didn’t bother anyone).
