A very charming boutique hostel right in the historic center of the city. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the passcode entry made it feel secure. The absence of staff, however, made the experience feel a bit impersonal, and the room could have been aired out more often. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

Stayed two nights. It was a little difficult to find originally but very well located with respect to the train station (about a 15 minute walk). Very clean with a unique access to top bunks with surrounding privacy curtains which made it quiet and private. Good lighting in each bunk with electrical plug and small shelf. The only thing missing was a hook or two. Kitchen was top notch. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend. G Day

What s fantastic place! The hostel is small and quiet. The ambiance is relaxing and elegant. The hosts were helpful but not intrusive. Every enquiry was answered positively. The location is convenient for the town and the train station. Many thanks
