“ This is a very chilled out hostel, which is usually great. It feels like a shared apartment, rather than a hostel.

“ nice but very cramped hostel. the kitchen is tiny, very good location but can be extremely noisy - fine if you´re part of it and having fun, but annoying if you really want a good night´s sleep. staff are really nice and laid back but could be better at giving info, maps etc. ”
