Place was a bit old fashioned with male and female dorms only, no mixed dorms, but not the biggest issue.
Super close to the town and a lidl, very accommodating and helpful staff! Good kitchen and a good few social areas to talk with others and hangout if desired. Would stay here again, good value for money and nice vibe.

Thicker walls. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise most of the night due to young people staying at the property.
Beds were comfy and staff are friendly.
