Cute hostel and nice staff always avalaible when you have a question. Great location, breakfast AND diner included. Only negative points : rooms are a little bit small maybe...but lockers are big so it is ok you have somewhere to put your bag. The real negative point is : no hot water in the common showers (in the private yes they had !) Free smoke area (can be positive or negative acording to people !) you have to go out to smoke.

I thought it was really great. Some problems with hot water and lights in the bathroom next to Blues. Thanks so much!

PROS: hot shower in our room (apparently the best shower in the place), breakfast AND dinner is included in price (nice dinners), very helpful staff (Diego was excellent & v funny), walking distance to everything in old town CONS: wifi didn't work in the room unless you had a door or window open, music played until midnight (not too bothersome but not great if you wanted an early night - earplugs worked a treat!)

Hostel is nice, decent beds with proper covers so you don't freeze at night. Showers are good once you figure out how to get the hot water going. The most distinguished thing at this hostel are the staff who work there, Elle and Ragga specifically (Not sure if I'm spelling names correctly). Really nice, chilled out people who gave the hostel a bit more of a social vibe, which was needed because it was a little quiet when I was there. Also, the guy who owns the place is really nice.

Staff here were really friendly & nice and the hostel is in a good location but in general it all felt a bit tired. My bed sheets were scratchy/too small for my bed and the quilt smelled gross and had stains all over it. The rooms are also really cold so I had to sleep in layers and a woolly hat! Free dinner is a good bonus but is a bit hit and miss.
