This was one of my favourite hostels while travelling around. Common spaces were clean and comfortable. Rooms were big and comfortable. I really liked bunk beds, because they were wooden and shaped into a L-form so there was more space for the person sleeping on the lower bunk. Every evening they offer you free chocolate pudding, which is more like a cake but I loved it! Apparently also vegan friendly! Really enjoyed my stay there, would recommend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
