Very basic backpackers hostel, but you have everything you need, good vibes included. The manager is excellent, always helpful for anything (information, excursions, etc.). Breakfast is super!
Amazing location. Stayed in the women's dorm. Felt more like a summer camp bunk than a hostel. Was very clean and wifi worked. Felt safe the entire time I was here. If you're a budget travel it is one of the better hostels I have been to.
Excellent breakfast..great location and beautiful chill out zones. The dorms come equipped with a lockable safe and usb and normal and also EU plug sockets which is a nice touch. The staff were incredible especially madeleine who went out of her way to make sure I am happy. Modern feel to the hostel and relaxing vibes.
Great location. Nice roof terrace (if you can be bothered to climb 7 flights of stairs). Cheap drinking water. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfy bed with mosquito nets. Felt safe at night. Quiet location.
