  Very nice hostel and pool with a view

  Liked: Very nice pool area included in the price! You can sunbathe and swim freely during the opening hours. Good location near the train station, comfortable beds in the dorms. Nice that the showers and toilets are outside of the room but close and that there are many of them. Friendly staff, nice balconies and beautiful views.

  Disliked: The staff was super friendly and nice, expect one lady. I was taking water from the kitchen when she said there is also drinkable water in the toilet. Why would I fill my glass in the toilet downstairs when I'm eating in the kitchen? Also she didn't let me wash my dishes in the kitchen because she had cleaned it and forced me to take the dishes in my bunk bed for the night.

  Great value with trade offs

  Liked: The location is great, and it’s very convenient for both the train station and getting into the old town. The staff was helpful and very friendly as well. The onsite laundry was also great to have if a bit expensive.

  Disliked: We were there when it was still unseasonably warm and there was no way of increasing airflow (fan, ac, something). The bed was also uncomfortable.

  Great stay in good location, clean, comfortable and nice outdoor pool

  Liked: We stayed twice, once in a 3 bed dorm room and 2 nights in the main house. It was easy to get to from the station. The staff were informed and helpful. The room and facilities were clean and well looked after. I loved having use of the outdoor pool. Great to have a fridge to store our food.

  Disliked: The kitchen facilities were minimal and not really sufficient for the size of hostel.

  Fabulous hostel in a great convenient location!

  Liked: The location and the great facilties and the very helpful friendly staff So close to the train station which made it very easy as I had heavy luggage.

  Disliked: There was a light shining through the glass door on the dorm which shone right on me as I was in the lower bunk beside the door. It would be good to have a curtain or a covering. Also the trains were quite loud during the night which made sleeping difficult if you are a light sleeper. Eye mask and ear plugs necessary!
