Very friendly owner. Clean. Good location. I did not find it very social, because the common area was not really inviting to hang around. Beds are rather hard, too.

Lovely chill vibe, Nick is awesome. Rooms and bathroom room are clean and you have privacy if you need it. Great location with plenty to do and see in the area. Would absolutely recommend.

The hostel is spotless and Nick is the absolute sweetest, most attentive host ever. Everytime you walk by reception he was there to ask if you needed anything, and was so bubbly and enjoyable.
