    I really enjoyed staying af Flaming Kiwi Backpackers! There was plenty of storage and the rooms/bathrooms/kitchen/sharing spaces got regularly cleaned. It had a very nice “homey” feeling. Especially the manager Emilia made you feel super welcome...

    Easy check-in process, even later in the day. The rooms were very quiet in the evening and night time. Two kitchens is also very nice to have available.

    Great hostel, lots of amenities; three well stocked kitchens and lots of clean bathrooms means it's never too busy and you don't have to wait to cook. The people are nice and they have more off-street parking than any other hostel I've seen in...
