Hostel has a homely feel, nice vibe, friendly guests who talk to each other and hang out. Great for a solo traveler who is social.

James United States of America

I am a professional tour operator and I deliver customer service. The guys and girls that work on reception are a credit to this industry. Lots of information at check-in and after. Real friendly/family vibe to the hostel. Community cooking (which I haven't seen in a hostel for awhile) the outside terrace was a great space to relax and chat with others. The rooms are very clean and bedding provided, there is even hand wash in bathroom. The hostel decor is super funky and nice. As soon as I walked in I know the guys working at the hostel have a high standard. Real fun place to be. There a drinks you can buy alcoholic/soft drinks and they even do happy hour. For-sure I definitely recommend this hostel great place to stay. Very close to city and transport links. The hostel is also situatied is a very nice area.
