Beautiful old build with a very historic, culturally feel. Lovely views of the city from outside the bedroom window. Great facilities, huge kitchen, and extra rooms like lounges and games rooms.

Serena United Kingdom

Perfect location near shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. Room was spacious. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.

Lucy United Kingdom

Very friendly staff. Warm. Clean. Lots of sitting areas. Free filter coffee available at reception!

Margaret United Kingdom

The location of this hostel is amazing, as well as the staff members and the entire building! The private bedroom was okay. Bigger than expected considering the square metres described on the website. Everything was very clean and I appreciated the request to take our own bed sheets and towels out before leaving, meaning that the previous guests also did the same. The bathroom was recently renewed, even though the flush takes a lot of time to fill in again and the shower pressure is weird. Still managed to wash my long hair decently.
