One guy a bit bigger was very rude I left my baggage by accident where they hold it . Was not called or notified realized the next morning the guy tried to charge me 20 USD for leaving my bag there. Besides the fact of that I had switched hostels due to the reason that my share dorm was not assured dorm. It was seven men and me being the only woman. I stayed there for two nights did not feel safe in a dorm of only men . I would recommend calling to ask before hand if it’s M or F ratio before

Very Good

Pros: Good location that’s decorated well and has a nice calming atmosphere. The showers and toilets are kept clean and nice to use. Cons: whilst the staff were friendly, they didn’t offer much information/guidance on activities to do or local recommendations. There’s also no communal kitchen area so this isn’t the place to stay if you’re looking to save some money by cooking your own meals. We stayed in the cylinders in the garden which could benefit from some extra storage.

Great place! The staff were very nice, the facilities were clean, and the variety of dorms was great. Would definitely book with them again! Also, as a solo woman, I felt very safe!
