Hostel.B

A very comfortable en-suite room in the centre of town.

Great location, the room was clean and quiet. Breakfast options were available for an additional fee and the hosts were lovely and flexible with a last minute decision to partake. The communal area has a really lovely homely feeling.

Stayed one night. Host was friendly and helpful. Room was adequate. Contains a mini shop and vending machine which is helpful. The room provided all that we needed.

We were on the 3rd floor and with no lift it was quite a mission to lug our luggage 3 flights. Other than this it was good.

I liked the town and the hostel's location within it. It was nice to have a single bed (not in a bunk). Breakfast buffet had a decent offering, including eggs cooked to order. Dorm room offers large locking storage lockers.

Where do I start? The host was grumpy when checking in me and the other pilgrims. The lobby, the stairwell, and the dorm room felt cramped (and it lacked a place for luggage transport storage). For the many pilgrims sharing the large dorm room, there were only 2 showers and 2 toilets, all shared by men and women. Getting sleep in the open room at night was nearly impossible, as there were far too many snoring and others getting up to the toilet through loud bathroom doors. Additionally, the room got very stuffy, yet people kept closing opened windows. On arrival, it had been pouring down rain, and there was a lack of good air circulation, heat, dry newspaper, and place to dry our drenched shoes and clothes. I ordered and paid for hard boiled eggs at breakfast; the eggs were rotten and had an obvious smell. The server tried to convince me that wasn't the case but, finally, switched them out for new eggs (which didn't smell).
