Pretty much everything. The room was clean and isolated. Common area are cleaned and maintained. The staff is nice. Stayed there for a week end and enjoyed it. A bit far of a walk to the city center. Free parking spot. And two cats.

I asked for a bottom bunk and got one! But it was by accident, not with the help of the staff. The person I had been communicating with before I arrived greeted me by name and was friendly. There were two quiet rooms where I could sit comfortably and work on my computer.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Really impressed with this hostel! I was upgraded from an 8-bed dorm to a 2-bed dorm, which was small but great to have fewer people. Comfy beds with curtains, individual lights, and chargers by the bed, plus lockers for luggage. They have two kitchens which are well equipped and have everything you need, plus a cozy lounge. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely stay here again! :)
