Only stayed a night but wished I stayed longer just for the hostel itself! Really helpful staff who were super friendly. Loved the outside areas and the view. Rooms were clean ( just don't have big lockers that you sometimes get at other hostels). Bathrooms clean. Can't fault at all!

Perfect hostel for a short stay, walking distance from everything needed and the wine/raki tour was great fun.
