Overall a good stay but I’m not convinced they change the sheets between guests, my sheets had fresh stains on them.

Nice & accomodating staff, nice cafe & buffet breakfast too. Hostel itself is only 8 beds, and when I stayed there was only 6 of us all up. Comfy beds. There is a nice outdoor area with fire pit, bar and seating space, but no one is there using it. Not as social as I would’ve liked! Would’ve been great with a big group of friends to book this out.

Such lovely hosts, they helped us plan transport to trips and they were super accommodating and friendly regarding any questions we had. Such a nice little space with access to the co-working and the cafe. Really good food as well! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area.
