Calm and peaceful hostel

Great location, nice and peaceful and calm but easy walking distance from the station and the town. The hostel had a lovely quiet calm atmosphere. The staff at reception was very friendly. The communal areas and facilities were spacious and very well equipped. The room was naturally basic, as expected, but comfy and clean and well appointed with things like sockets/USB points and bedside tables with reading lamps. I would stay here again.

Good Quality Hostal with helpful friendly staff.

Great staff. Good kitchen. Refillable bottled water fountain available. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Spacious lounge. Breakfast available. Only drawback, rooms are not very well insulated so can be noisy. I always carry earplugs so I can sleep.
