“Good location easy to book in. Staff were helpful and accomodation was comfortable and warm. Plenty of eateries around but has a communal kitchen to use. Check out was easy. Buses were 2 mins away. No children which was nice. Clean and cozy.”

“Maybe it would seem differently when it's busy but it's probably low season now. So it was not crowded and easy to find space in the kitchen. The room is quite big and the hostel is clean.”
