I had a great stay in the hostel. It was very close to all sightseeings. Staff was helpful and friendly. And the room was comfortable and clean. It also had character which I liked. The airport shuttle was only 15 EUR which was much lower than advertised and handy for an early flight out.

Amazing service by the cook and reception, great, healthy breakfast with cheese, egg, cucumbers, and olives. Also had less healthy cake and bread. Quiet rooms. The terrace was amazing to do productibe work on the laptop the whole day. Great wifi. I also asked for extra food and got it.

Great location. Female staff lovely. Male staff not that friendly (no response to my hellos). Staff entering bedrooms without knocking. Could be cleaner. Breakfast not buffet as pictured. Offering too small to be classed as breakfast. 24-hour reception is someone sleeping behind it - anyone can walk in & access bedrooms. Had misunderstanding with owner. He was shouting, aggressive. Very unpleasant. Left me shaking physically. Unprofessional & he let his people down. Would not stay again.
