Really great place to stay. Excellent value for money with meal vouchers included and great cheese and wine night which is good to meet people and is free! It's about a 20 minute walk to the city centre but there is a free shuttle bus which runs regularly. All the staff were really helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.

I love this hostel. The only downside is the location and they have free buses to take you down and pick you up. It's the cleanest hostel I've ever seen.

Very clean, nice and quiet, free wine and cheese night was great to mingle with people, staff were very helpful and organised tours at no charge. I spent a whole week there and I'd love to do it again!!!!

The property quite clean and quiet. Unfortunately, we got robbed through our window at night up on the second floor. Should have safety bars as it's easy to climb in. Otherwise, and enjoyable stay.
