Good kitchen and shared facilities. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to make meals. Shared areas included games and a piano. Beautiful garden area. Bed was comfortable. Location was good. Staff were friendly. The only complaint is that the walls are thin in between rooms and you can sometimes hear the conversations from another room or outside.
Fritz Macasa, 6 years agoOne of the best hostel ever. I spent 7 months there and i saw a lot of people coming back in this hostel after a trip because you feel like home. For a short or a long stay, you enjoy all the relax common areas, peaceful garden, big kitchen with oven and everything for cooking and baking. Friendly atmosphere, thanks to Janet and Tom, and all the managers. 100% recommended
Ophélie D., 6 years agoNice Hostel with a big kitchen and very much space to hang out inside and outdoors. Nice rooms with showers and bathrooms right around the corner. Everything is very clean and is being cleaned on a regular basis. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere is chilled and positive! I'd definitely would go again! The Wifi is free and very fast and they have parking available.
