"the people who run it were really friendly and helpful, it was nice and clean, the rooms were good and the bathrooms clean, neat and tidy. Its set in a really good location, close to town but far enought away to feel relax and chill.  Would really recommend this hostel to anyone"

"Only stayed here for 3 nights but loved it.The managers are so helpful and make you feel totally at home.  Not too far from the town centre and lots to do there, like ping pong, pool table and trampoline.  Would definately recommend it"
