Had a great experience here. The most well run hostel I’ve ever been to. Certainly the cleanest. Incredible staff. Helped me with so many different things. Fantastic common areas as well, and the free pudding in the evening brings everyone together with a smile. This place is a gem

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.
