Liked: Thios was one of tyhe best hostels that we have stayed in for all of our travels. The owners are incredibly helpful, informative and really make you feel welcome. On a Monday night they make a group meal where everyone chips in and it was fantastic!! Our one dissapointment was the coldness of the rooms but it really didnt matter that much!
