Only shared bathroom and toilet, no heater in the room (had to share one while being cold).
Awesome staff - helped me a lot from printing documents from me to giving me meds for the cold. Good location though not central, quite and feels like home. Hearty breakfest, they arrange tours and help a lot, lots of other travellers. Good place and I highly recommend.

“Brilliant stay at the hostel. Friendly atmosphere. Helpful staff. Met some great people!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The room was situated right next to the lounge area so it got a bit loud at times. The bathroom was fairly basic - could be better. The room was a bit cold.
I had a room. The bed was fairly comfortable and good sized. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They made me breakfast past the cut off time as I was jet lagged. I met some great people at the hostel, it has a nice informal/friendly atmosphere. The shuttle service was on time to pick me up at the airport at 5 am!

I think that only 2 bathrooms included toilets for many persons are uncomfortable. If you want to miss the queue for waiting the shower/toilet then you should go in the early morning or in the early afternoon period. Sometimes, the rooms are gender mixed. Sometimes, it is hard to sleep (background noise, beds).
Good location. Very kind staff. Good possibilities to explore the local attractions. Chill out garden. Warm atmosphere.
