Liked: Nicely located just outside of the old town, close to both the bus and railway stations. The dorm room was very spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms were fine, the wifi was fast (though not available in all rooms) and the staff were extra friendly. Security was also good, and the free breakfast a nice bonus.

Disliked: The kitchen was well equipped but quite cramped - one morning I couldn't really get breakfast as one large group was taking up the whole space

Liked: Immaculate, very spacious, not crammed in dorms. Nooks and corners on every floor if you want some time to yourself, otherwise good common room and close to just about everything. Really felt like a second home, so comfortable!

Disliked: Bathrooms were way too warm, need some air flow through there. Not much wrong though really.

Liked: The value for money was excellent. It's very friendly and cosy. Rooms were basic but clean nice and friendly. The breakfast was simple but good. It has a really chilled out backpacker vibe. It's clearly popular amongst travellers as behind the counter are tonnes of postcards that previous visitors have sent to the hostel.

Disliked: It's general feel. Very welcoming and friendly.
