Nice hostel with really comfy rooms and close to some good restaurants. Wasn’t very busy in the off season unsurprisingly but staff were always happy to play a game of pool. Also the coffees are crazy good

Amazing hostel. Was quiet as it is off season. There was also construction going on which was quite disruptive but the room was amazing and food great too!
