For the rest, it is one of the best hostels i've stayed in.close

It had some very good points, and other points that made me feel rather uncomfortable. The beds and pillows were comfortable and clean, and the free ride from the station was good, and breakfast was excellent though the bread ran out from people taking it for their lunches or whatever. It seemed to be in a family home though, so there were kids sitting around and I felt like I was invading. Often I asked questions and got yes or no answers where what I was asking for was details or an explanation of how things work, so I think there was a language barrier there as well. The owner tried very hard to convince me to pay for the hostel lift to the airport and I agreed, but then he didn't show up when I'd told him I needed to go, so a younger staff/family member drove me instead, which was a very harrowing ride as he sped, tailgated and used his mobile phone the whole time.close

Frankly we found the couple who run this place a little odd and not overly friendly. You can get between here and town easily enough by bus, but it is a fair way out. The lady seemed to spend a lot of time cleaning but our room was still dusty when we moved in. Ok for a cheap bed but not highly...

Not central, which I knew before, but didn't think about how long I'd have to wait for a bus into town. The rooms in the basement are a bit dark and cramped, but otherwise okay. Things upstrairs looked much cheerier.
