Great stay in a fun and clean hostel environment. Clean common areas including bathrooms and showers, free luggage storage when we left on a side trip for a couple days. We, as 2 adults and our 10-year old, stayed in the 4-bunk private room during both stays. The room was cramped and we kept hitting our heads from the lower bunks, and it didn’t have AC (did have a fan). Regardless, I would stay here again and look to stay at more hostels in the future.

Pod in mixed dorm
Nice service. Friendly atmosphere. Pod gave me good intimacy, however, the bed was a bit hard and pillow too thin. A better air conditioning system is needed as it tends gets too hot in the pod in the summer. Shower floors were a bit dirty as well

Period and quirky; great age mix in clientelle - all over 18 appear to be welcomed and children if with supervising adult. Great bunch of staff, keen to make you feel at ease, with events, chats, social activity or equally keep a courteous distance if it looks like you want to be alone.
