A clean and well-located hostel with comfortable beds and good facilities. The cafe and bar are affordable and convenient. The only downside to this hostel is that it was completely empty (in July). We were the only guests, so our stay was quite quiet! Perhaps not ideal for solo travellers.

Nice modern new hostel but no hot water for showers & poorly designed so that there is a constant pool of water you have to stand in whilst you have your miserable shower. Some security lockers weren’t working either. Staff were helpful with everything I asked them for but often look at you like an inconvenience rather than a guest… customer service training might be needed!
