Warm strong showers.nFlow of friendly guests.nPlease gently close doors, instead of retractor arm slamming.nCleaned daily 10am.
The actual rooms and building is in great condition, everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The kitchen is great.nnI think it would have been great through the week, but I stayed on a Saturday night and didn’t get to sleep until after 2am, due to cars racing on the street and people partying on the street, so bring earphones if you are there on the weekend!nnGreat value for money though.
Went back to try pizza again thinking they had a bad day on my last visit but apparently they are happy to make sub standard pizza. I wonder if the chef even knows why his dough won’t rise? Of maybe he just doesn’t care and buys pre made bases. What a terrible pizza
Nice hostel in the heart of the city.nnI stayed one night in a single room, it was basic but warm and comfortable, decent for the price. Common areas are well-equipped and clean, showers are hot, the staff was really friendly.nnOnly downsides are:nn- walls are very thin, so you'll hear what happens in the rooms around you, in the corridor and even outside.n- parking your car can be tricky as you have to park on the street, but it's free at nightnnOverall, I was pretty satisfied with my stay and would recommend this place for budget travelers.
We arrived quite late from a long drive so we had a late check in but the staff was very responsive through emails and very accommodating. Check in for us was easy. However, there was no mentioning of parking. We parked on the parking on the side and realized that is free in the weekend. The bed was very comfortable however our room was right next to the staircase door therefore we can hear people open and close the door all the time. There is only one washroom available in the women toilets/ showers, since we only stay for a very short night, it didn’t bother us very much. The room was clean. Overall, it was a comfortable one short stay for us to get through towns. We didn’t really check out the town center so can’t really comment on that but the hostel is right in the town center.
