Enjoyed my stay! The house has such cute character, internet connection is great, helpful staff and I felt safe, which is so important for a woman traveling alone! The only real downside was that the fitted sheet was really too small for the mattress, so as I shifte during the night the sheet came off of the mattress and I ended up sleeping, plastered to the plastic mattress. Bigger fitted sheets would have made my sleep so much more comfortable.

Great house with lots of character, very clean and ok location. Staff were friendly, the only thing missing was a more communal atmosphere, there was little encouragement to socialise

The lock system that leads to the dorm needs to be changed. Loose. Unsecure. Very difficult to open even when you know the code. I would definitely stay here again.

Really an amazing hostel, far to clean to deserve the name hostel, and the staff are amazing. I can only recommend the hostel.

The staff is really friendly and helpful. Whenever I have a query, they are able to answer it satisfactorily, and they have good tips on what to do in the city! The hostel is also located near to the downtown area, so that's a big plus. The hostel is well-furnished, giving it a distinctive quality that cannot be found in other hostels. Absolutely the best hostel I have been so far!
