Very nice hostel but a bit pricey. I chose to pay the extra because the reviews were excellent, but I'm not entirely convinced it was worth it, although I did have a great stay! - Great breakfast options, although breakfast included (or at least free tea & coffee) would be even better - Excellent views - The pool wasn't quite as nice as it looked on the photos, and sadly I didn't end up using it, but a pool is definitely a great asset!

Positives: Great location, warm and inviting place. VWell run and clean. Areas for improvements: Courtyard areas a bit messy and unkept - could be better maintained.
