A great hostel with good, clean, well equipped kitchens and eating area with lovely views. On the edge of town but still not far from shops etc.

It could have been great but it was not: too many people in the kitchen and not enough pots and pans to cook , not enough space in the dining hall for people . The tenants should ckeck more often if pots an,d pans are in " working order " and old ones should be replaced ...
