+ An excellent private room quite unexpected given the very traditional building which it exists in. The shower , lighting, bed and cleanliness of the room was excellent. The use of the space is excellent and the communal kitchen , dining area and tv room are all really nice . Also there are facilities , toys and games there that can accommodate families . Not all hostels or backpackers are suitable for young children or customers with children. But this was a nice sign to see.

+ Really fantastic staff. Really comfortable room- was given a free upgrade but felt far more like a hotel than a hostel. Great central location- highly recommended!
− The window had lots of draughts and the 'blind' didn't close properly as it was missing a hook.
