The 4 person room was great. Amazing views. Good location. Just beware when we come of the steps to get up to the hostel. Breakfast was nice. No kitchen as a downside and not the best for meeting people. But absolutely would stay again

Super pleased

The most challenging part was the walk from the train station to the hostel. Many stairs and uphill. However, there are taxis available. Staff was extremely accommodating, great breakfasts, comfortable room and super clean, which I love. The kitchen area was spotless, as was the hostel throughout. Can’t say enough good things about the hostel.
