Liked: Free internet :-)No curfewDecent coffeeCute waiters :-pFriendly staff with excellent service

Disliked: Slightly overbooked :-) Were asked nicely to add two secondary beds to the 4p room and free up a room so they wouldn't have to send people away, to which we conceded. Beds are only for sleeping anyway :-)

Liked: The rooms were spacious, clean and functional, and the bathrooms modern and adequate. I particularly liked the café bar area which was thoughtfully designed and helped contribute to a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. The bar staff were particularly friendly and helpful in making us feel at home, assisting us in suggesting places to go out to in the evening which made our stay an excellent experience. The hostel fulfilled all our needs perfectly. Thank you guys.

Liked: They have beautiful bikes to hire for a cheap price. Do it! Best way to see the city and makes up for the hostel being a little bit outside of the centre. Staff were helpful, bar was great (and cheap), always good to have a kitchen.

Disliked: Nothing much really, top place!

Liked: The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, price very reasonable. The staff were full of helpful recommendations and they had good bicycles for hire which made my stay so much more enjoyable. Also the common room was a very nice place to sit in. The breakfast was great!

Disliked: There was a pub/cafe on the ground floor but not a great deal of interaction between guests in the hostel. Everyone seemed a little stiff and distant from each other, although I don't suppose you can blame the hostel for that. The atmosphere was just a little isolating, I think.
