Staff (Noah and Alex) are so nice and helpful, common areas with everything you need, good internet, good breakfast with toast jam etc and plenty of eggs, comfy bunk beds that don't move a bit getting up or when turning over, clean etc etc. One of the best hostels I have stayed in so far
literally nothing!

Perfectly clean, comfortable and cozy hostel with great staff and everything you need. Generous breakfast, nice common areas etc. We loved it!
Would be even better if they had a baby cot and baby chair, but I get that families with infants aren't the main target group ;)
