I had a nice stay in this hostel. Cozy dorm and really nice common areas. I appreciate having a water bottle refill station. It’s in a great part of town with cute cafes and restaurants nearby. A few things to note is that some light switches don’t work, and it’s a very quiet hostel. Maybe because it’s June but if you’re looking to socialise it wasn’t social.

This is more than just a regular hostel. They got the curtains, toilet inside the room, you don't need your own lock for the locker because it comes with a lock already (that's a first for me) the locker is literally in your bed area if you need something during the night you don't have to crawl out of bed. The outlet and personal light right by your side of course. They got beautiful grounds as well as a beautiful balcony. A pool table with comfortable couches. Breakfast included.

Overall, alright. 10 person dorm was very small, no space for luggage. There are no locks on the doors of the rooms. So anyone can walk in. Common area and location are nice. Not the cleanest.
