My mother (93!) and I had a private room. We had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. The food was good. There was a large party of school children staying but the staff were quick and efficient and really helpful in what could have been a stressful situation.

This hostel seems newly renovated as is super clean and fresh - the staff are very helpful - be aware that this hostel isn’t super central, most major sites or things in old town are a 20-30 minute walk

Quite convenience from railway station. The room is clean and enough space for 6 people. The self-catering kitchen is clean and the common room is comfortable. The staffs are friendly and helpful.
