Bit further out of the city centre, but meant it was quite to sleep, nice walk along the seaside in the morning and shops close by for dinner. 30 min walk to town but pretty sure there is a bus. Place kept clean and was quiet, bed was comfy but rooms a little crowded.

Amazing little spot with perfect sized rooms. We were two couples travelling together and the rooms suited our needs perfectly. The staff was very accommodating and check in/out was a breeze. Cannot recommend this property enough. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer!

A really clean, modern, fresh hostel with a very high standard! It felt new and renovated with personal touches, and the dorms were also clean and comfortable. Each bed had a good curtain blocking out light, a lamp and sockets for charging and the sleep was really good. The bathroom was also clean and modern, and the kitchen had everything you need. I had a great stay!

We weren't sure at first about staying here because it was a hostel but I'll say it was probably nicer than a lot of hotels we stayed at and one of the nice additional benefits was being able to use the kitchen. This place was very clean very centrally located and it was quiet

The room was a good size, the facilities were clean, and the staff was helpful. I didn't try the breakfast because no cooked stuff. Overall no complaints! Keep in mind this is a small city so the bus connecting the hostel to the center is often late and sometimes infrequent!
