Amazing Hostel - my en suite room was like a hotel and the common room was so cool to relax in. In terms of location, you step out of the door and you see the arch into the main road of the old town. Staff were friendly and they sold drinks and snacks at reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Well-equipped, excellent location and fabulous free sauna in the mornings where you can chat with other international guests. Staff were grumpy and unfriendly, but everything else was terrific!

Free sauna/pool 9-11 AM is nice and also the free waffles was a nice touch. I wouldn’t say anything bad for the cheap price we paid 🙂

The staff were very accommodating and helped every step of the way and the location is literally fantastic with a supermarket, the ferry docks and the old town literally within walking distance. The free waffles in the morning are also a massive bonus! The room itself was nice however the walls are made out of paper. I booked the top floor to escape the noise but I ended up not getting alot of sleep and unable to relax. Bring either some comfortable earpods or noise blockers to get sleep.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Great location but otherwise kinda poor

One shower and two toilets for an entire floor and the floor had maybe 12 rooms or more, and if each room has 8 beds....... Would not want to stay here when it's very busy!! Not enough power outlets and they are not by each bed. No place to put your phone or room keys in a top bunk, and obviously can't charge your phone while you're there.

More Relaxing than Social

Cozy hostel. I stayed 3 nights. Never got the chance to try the waffles because they were always gone too fast. I think you have to be there exactly at 9am to get one. The sauna was super nice though. Staff are extremely antisocial and seem almost annoyed when you ask them questions. Not really the type of hostel to meet people but was a relaxing stay

Great if you manage to avoid the noisy rooms

I booked a private room with bathroom, so not the typical hostel experience. Staff were friendly, the place is clean, well located, the waffles are a great treat, and the room was well heated (March). The lounge area is underground with little natural light so not really somewhere you want to hang out. The main issue was that the initial room was next to the lounge and this very noisy (even though people were just talking and watching TV normally : it echoes a lot), luckily they were able to change my room after the first sleepless night... So pick a room on the 4th floor if you want to sleep 😊, and they're also very cute

La entrada principal no es muy linda. Pero apenas pasas esas puertas, todo es diferente. La habitación muy aseada y cómoda. Aunque la primera noche sentí mucho frío a pesar que la calefacción estaba en funcionamiento.
