    I really love how systematic they do things around here. It’s giving homestay vibes and their apps was so useful, unfortunately their internet coverage was not that good in the room but works well in the common area.

    We stayed in the cabin with ensuite bathroom. Exceptionally clean, tidy, and spotless. What you see on photos is what you get. Free parking (first come first serve) is a huge plus point. Staff, especially the manager is super friendly and lots of good recommendations around town ❤️ would definitely recommend!

    Only about a 10-minute walk to the city centre, yet still peaceful and quiet at night. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. One of the biggest pluses is the convenient parking available right in front of the hostel, which made everything much easier. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience.
