Just wow 🤩 the perfect hostel experience. Erin and the team were amazing. They couldn’t do enough for you. The old traditional hostel personable approach where nothing was a problem. I will be back to stay longer than one night next time!

This hostel is amazing! My friends and I only stayed for one night (sadly!), but we were totally impressed by how beautiful and well-organized it is. There are loads of awesome places to visit nearby, and there's even a mini-market just round the corner. The kitchen is super clean and has everything you need! Definitely recommended!
