Ok, the staff friendly And the Atmosphere was a relaxed one.

Patrick United Kingdom

people will gather in the kitchen and chat like a big family. it is super friendly

Ngai Hong Kong

Clean, central, great character. Great staff. Due to Covid and low numbers of travellers the woman separated people so they avoided sharing rooms. I had a 6 bed room to myself. That flexibility is responsible and appreciated.

Doug Canada

If you look for somewhere central with all shops and restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, this is the hostel to stay in. On the downside you will hear all the night life during the night. So not quite suitable for a light sleeper. The staff is friendly and if you are a solo traveler you would enjoy the chats. They genuinely go out of their way to facilitate your needs within the policy of the place. Breakfast is as usual porridge and toast, tea and coffee, but as it provides a kitchen you can easily cook your own food throughout the day e.g. if you have any special dietary requirements. The place was kept clean as well as it provided the necessary stuff for keeping it clean for yourself such as anti-bact sprays, sanitisers, paper towels etc.

Vera Ireland

Staff were polite room spottless old historical history too it but not changed which is really good. It's 2 minutes from pubs restaurants and everything is so convenient. Stayed numberous times and will stay again. Great place for really cheap prices.

Wayne Ireland

Excellent location, within walking distance to everything really. Parking outside was great. Small fee but no big deal. Room was clean as a whistle and very comfortable. Staff extremely welcoming and friendly. Thank you Niamh. Hope to get back in the future.
