I find it hard to reconcile my experience with the previous reviews. Rather than being a good place for solo travellers, it was me and two families, one of whom had two dogs - one very large, roaming around the common area which affected access to the front door, kitchen and stairs to my room. I had been attacked by a dog 5 weeks previously and when I showed my bandaged leg to the owner, they didn't seem to understand how having a large dog in a shared space would be upsetting. I know my experience is atypical, but it perhaps reflects the extent to which this hostel is a welcome place for all. When I arrived at 7.30 pm the bathrooms and kitchen hadn't been cleaned and there were piles of linens in the hallway waiting to be washed. When I asked the host for recommendations of places to walk, she said I should look online.
