One of the best places and for the price?! Amazing, okay i get it its a tiny room but thats what hostels have to offer. The hostel is in the central area just 3 min walk from station the bar/restaurant (Fiona) which is were you enter has an amazing vibe great people both customers and staff(probably the nicest place in that area) Up to the rooms,the bed is really comfy and easily fits two people the entrance to the room is a bit tight so only one person could get dressed at a time using the space comfortably. On to the bathroom, we never witnessed wet floors, dirty mirrors, or dirty toilets. The bathroom was always spotless clean with the rack of body and face towels being almost full at all times an the most important, hot water to shower at any time. Overall I couldn't have booked a better place for the value of money considering how clean and modern the place was. We are coming back for sure😁
