The facilities and breakfast were great and staff and was lovely. They had a storage room for luggage when I checked in early that was nice. Only issue was getting from the train to the hostel with luggage. There's a target large hill you have to walk up. Other than that it was a great stay!

The breakfast was good. It was quite annoying, after traveling all day, to get to the hostel and to have to make the bed. Most hostels make the bed for you, so this was unexpected.

Stayed for one night and it was exactly what you’d expect from a hostel. Would definitely recommend booking a room with a private bathroom.
