It had a very homey feel to it - a nice pup also. Would be great in peak season with lots of other backpackers in the bar.

Lovely staff

The hostel is very well-equipped. There was a good array of spices and some free food in the kitchen. The beds were nice. I was there in the spring, so it was a little cold, but we met some nice people staying there, and the staff was very helpful and accomodating. It's also nice that the bar is just upstairs because we were able to meet some of the locals.
