Great location to get anywhere in the old town area within 20 minutes walk or less. Close to a few beaches, good transport links. Everything was clean & comfortable. The sauna was excellent! Only downside was the room was stifling even with the window open and it was next to a main street that was rather loud at night. Would definitely recommend though and stay again!

Amazing Hostel - my en suite room was like a hotel and the common room was so cool to relax in. In terms of location, you step out of the door and you see the arch into the main road of the old town. Staff were friendly and they sold drinks and snacks at reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location and value

Hostel is right across the street from the tram, buses and the Fat Margaret area of the old town. The train station is in the area. About a thousand feet down the street is an excellent, full service grocery store, and a convenience store in the other direction. Shopping is otherwise limited. No real sit down restaurants in the neighborhood, but then again it's very close to the old town. On cleanliness, i give them a "good.". That is, certainly it's not bad but overall it could be better. The hostel is in an old building but I had no particular problems. They have a basement recreation room with TV, community kitchen, and sauna which I can't comment on. They also offer a free make-it-yourself Belgian waffle facility in the morning. Also I think that reception is open 24 hours. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Not very clean

The hostel wasn’t very clean, and there was a strange smell in the room; no wardrobes, but the location was not far from the old town.

Great if you manage to avoid the noisy rooms

I booked a private room with bathroom, so not the typical hostel experience. Staff were friendly, the place is clean, well located, the waffles are a great treat, and the room was well heated (March). The lounge area is underground with little natural light so not really somewhere you want to hang out. The main issue was that the initial room was next to the lounge and this very noisy (even though people were just talking and watching TV normally : it echoes a lot), luckily they were able to change my room after the first sleepless night... So pick a room on the 4th floor if you want to sleep 😊, and they're also very cute

The staff were very accommodating and helped every step of the way and the location is literally fantastic with a supermarket, the ferry docks and the old town literally within walking distance. The free waffles in the morning are also a massive bonus! The room itself was nice however the walls are made out of paper. I booked the top floor to escape the noise but I ended up not getting alot of sleep and unable to relax. Bring either some comfortable earpods or noise blockers to get sleep.
