The Hostel team were excellent, food and drinks selections and standard are high. Rooms are fine - showers a bit dated in the room, but did the job after been out all day.

Very clean - surprisingly clean even! Simple but warm in atmosphere - my husband was surprised that I booked this place (we’re in our 60’s) but it was outstanding & charming. We highly recommend if you’re looking for convenient location & simplicity.

Trevligt

Jag har aldrig bott på hösten tidigare, detta var en mycket positivt upplevelse. Här fån ingen mat att köpa men ett stort kök att laga egen mat i, bar fanns och en mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal! Vi hade ett rum med dusch men ingen toalett. Toaletten fanns på samma våning så det var inget problem. Vi kan tänka oss att återvända.
