Very clean, modern and well maintained hostel. Heavy doors to help minimise noise. Room was spacious and comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean and pretty much available whenever you needed to use them. The shared kitchen was very well equipped, however, it was super busy during peak meal times. There is no elevator, so you need to carry luggage upstairs if your room is on the second floor. There is a bar downstairs and reception was friendly and helpful. Lots of accessible, on-site parking too.

Room was clean and comfortable. Used the kitchen for breakfast and dinner but huge group came in and took over all the sinks and much of the prep space. Shared kitchen could be bigger but it was a one off, otherwise they had everything we needed. Great location. Recommended.

Disliked: Amenities
No elevator or help with luggage so be prepared. The room had an angle at end of ceiling so you bumped your head and made it so 40% of the room was unusable.
