Enjoyed our stay here. The laundry room was a life saver as our group were caught in heavy rain soon before leaving to travel home, and so we were able to dry our things. Breakfast was extremely basic. Room was a little tired and dated. Staff were helpful and friendly - Overall a good stay & good hostel!
