Very nice hostel located within walking distance of the city centre. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room (private room on the first floor) was very clean and comfortable.
Juliette,

Wonderful view across the harbour from my room. A spacious 6 bed dorm with a table and chairs in the room. An en-suite toilet was a nice surprise and the shower was just outside the room. I could drop my bag off before check in time which saved me paying for a locker at the station.
