This place is stunning. Friendly and helpful staffmembers, great facilities which are clean (just as the rest of the hostel) and I even got a ride towards my ferry. Shame I had to leave!

The breakfast was great. Beautiful building, very clean, relaxed atmosphere, good service, good location.
Sleeping in the top bunk. Also, the fire alarm went off at 5am one morning - a false alarm.

It was great to see they included breakfast, and they have a movie room with lazy boys every night! How good. Great place and great people.

The place was quiet.
There was no ready hard boiled cooked eggs, just raw eggs were there.

ExcellentDec 20199.0
Great vibe, very clean, nice outdoor spaces, good size or rooms, beds comfy, kitchen of good size and well equipped. Breakfast options were good, with fresh filter coffee, cereal, toast and even eggs. Wifi good. Laundry on site (takes coins). Desk staff v. friendly and helpful.
Number of showers/bathrooms seemed a little low for number of guests - could be a bit of a wait.
