The hostel is clean and looks very trendy. It’s a great value. However, this is the stop for every party bus. If you intend to sleep through the night (instead of partying with the rest of the guests) find a different accommodation.

Nice location and good facilities - super clean! Wasn't too busy so it felt very roomy and comfortable. Only minor feedback was that the bar closed at 10pm right as the women's world cup was starting - luckily only a short walk into town to the other pub.

Really lovely hostel. Just the kitchen was very cold to eat in. This was not fun on a cold rainy day in winter! Also advertised sauna but it was not working which was a shame.
Lovely staff though and hostel rooms were great. Bathrooms were luxury for a hostel!
