Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, nice gardens, good location. Had a dorm all to myself for a couple nights. Food is a little pricey and there was building works happening on the grounds which was noisy at times. Overall enjoyed my stay

Hostel is great and the staff are very kind. There was a lack of plugs in the dorm I stayed in which made charging my phone a bit of a hassle, but otherwise I had a wonderful experience!
