Very homely hostel with a relaxed atmosphere. About a 10-15 min walk from centre but a good place to chill out. Just one computer but everyone works around that well. Well equipt and clean kitchen. Definately recomended.

The hostel is about 15 min to 20 min walk from the Cathedral Square, depending on your pace, which is both quieter (further from town centre) and noiser (it's situated right next to a school). The owners are generous and friendly, and we had a pleasant stay there. A suggestion is to put in more hooks on the walls to hang clothing. We stayed in a spacious twin private room, which is a nice change from the usual cramped rooms in most hostels.

Only stayed one night before my flight, but I enjoyed the friendly environment. The facilities were generally nice and clean and the staff were very friendly. Good location as well, just a few minutes from the town centre. Would stay again.

The staff are really lovely and the place in general has a nice friendly atmosphere. The beds let it down...not comfortable at all, but they're clean!

It really feels like a home away from home. Geri and Lee are wonderful, full of ideas and information. I extended my stay!
