beautiful little hostel, only negatives were bad shower pressure and either freezing cold or boiling hot water and no lockable lockers in the room. other than that, loved it!

I am delighted to hear you loved Ducks & Drakes. Thanks for your feedback on the shower pressure/temperature...old character buildings have their challenges - and sometimes plumbing is one of them, as is space to include lockers. We are certainly working on improving the water pressure - and hope you will return to experience it yourself. Happy travels.
