I didn’t like the toilets being a bit intimidating, the hostel is slightly far from the central part of the city and restaurants, no bins in the room and bathrooms

I liked everything about this hostel. From the moment you step in you are welcomed. Tim the manager was so friendly and helpful. I only stayed 2 nights but wish I could have stayed longer as it really was a lovely, peaceful place to stay. Tim was kind enough to even offer me a private room. The bed was so comfortable and the whole place is so clean and tranquil.

Clean, good location, lovely staff, late check-in wasn’t a problem, multiple showers and kitchens so didn’t feel crowded

The walls are very thin, we got unlucky with loud neighbours (but the hostel advises this, so just come prepared with earplugs if you’re a light sleeper)
