One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Very kind and accommodating staff. Super clean rooms and bathrooms. Great location, so conveniently close to the train station. Highly recommend doing the pub crawl, it was so fun as a solo traveller - connecting with fellow guests, checking out the night life and again, the staff was awesome.

The place is clean and c...

Very nice hostel which offers breakfast at no extra cost! The rooms, showers and kitchen are all kept very clean by staff and guests and the whole hostel has a very friendly and homey atmosphere. The only downside is that most rooms are located directly above a pub, so if you want to got to sleep early, it will not be quiet as you can hear the live music through the walls.

I have never felt so welcomed at a hostel! The staff was so kind and friendly! Especially Tom (you rock)! The rooms were clean and had comfortable beds! The common space is so homey and welcoming!
