In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Social but not a party hostel — Guests consistently mention the sociable atmosphere, with a bar and games like beer pong, but they also note it's not rowdy or overwhelming.
- Spotless and comfortable rooms — Reviewers frequently praise the cleanliness of both dorms and private rooms, the large comfy beds, and the privacy curtains on bunks.
- Outstanding service from staff — Staff are highlighted as friendly and helpful, going as far as organising trips, giving local advice, and even taking guests to a football game.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Not ideal for those seeking quiet — The on-site bar and social events like beer pong could be a downside for travellers looking for a completely quiet stay.
- Adults-only policy — Families with children cannot stay here; the hostel is exclusively for adults.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel does not accept animals.
- Limited private room options — The solo traveller might find the dormitory options plentiful, but the private rooms are limited to a double and a small double, which could be a constraint for groups.
