The hostel is about 600 meters from the station and slightly away from the main road, so it is relatively quiet. The room was very small and lacked lockers, which is inconvenient compared to other branches. The kitchen was usable, but many guests left utensils unwashed. I understand it’s reasonable to expect users to clean their own vessels, but that didn’t happen consistently implementing a simple renting system for utensils could make this more manageable.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had really lovely morning light, and as a lesbian couple we felt completely safe and welcome the whole time. It was a little cold at first but the heater worked instantly, and overall everything felt tidy and relaxed. The location was a huge bonus too being so close to the train station made our 7:30am train way less stressful. We had a really positive stay and would definitely book again.
