Overall Hostel Celica offers a good balance of comfort and value for money. Would stay again! ✅ a bright, clean and interesting space. 10 minutes’ walk from the town and close to the bus/ train station and a supermarket. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great that luggage storage and a towel were included! Quiet and comfortable. ❌ The kitchen was a bit small and breakfast was limited given the price of €7. Would be nice if the bed had a curtain, and locker layout could be better.
