A very clean, attractive and well-run hostel. Weekly events, such as one day a week when one of the staff cooks pancakes for everybody, help to give the sense of somewhere welcoming and inclusive.
There could have been better ways of keeping your clothes dry while showering

Generally a good place to stay, close to the centre of town. Very nice and friendly staff, good facilities. Also very reasonable rates
If you look at the photo's on their page you will see a 6 bed dorm with three double bunks. I was shown to a 12 bed dorm with four triple bunks in a room not much bigger. Sorry didn't think to take photo's. Room was much to small for 12 people.With just one window which we couldn't open very wide because of the weather it was not exactly fresh in there. Also the three bunks are not comfortable. If you get stuck in the middle one unless you are 3 feet tall forget about being able to sit up, don't think the bottom one will be much better but at least it's easier to get into. Nowhere enough storage space either just a few cubby holes and very small lockers don't think they were 12 inches square, oh don't forget to bring your own padlock !
