More of a hotel than a hostel. We had a private room for 4\. The rooms were clean, smelled fresh, the beds were on the firm side and comfortable for us, the pillows weren't flat but nice and comfy. Everything smelled and looked new. The breakfast had a lot of variety and very good. Parking is a block away and not free but discounted. ##### Lezlie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall pleasing First time staying in a hostel/shared room, the experience was rather pleasing. The only downside was that no towels were provided, towels cost 2€ at the front desk. Overall cleanliness was good, the service exceptional! Breakfast was included, very diverse and tasty. Another great thing was the Kinlay Pub Crawl, would definitely recommend participating – met a lot of great fellow travellers and had a great great time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great staff and accommodation Arrived early and was able to leave luggage in the secure room. The lovely lady at reception helped me find all the best spots and gave her personal recommendations for the city. The hostel was mostly clean, apart from the showers which I think was more down the to guests rather than them. There were great facilities and a nice communal area. Bedrooms were comfortable with a privacy curtain on each bit, always a huge plus in a hostel! Each bed had its own light and plug/usb socket to charge overnight. Basic breakfast provided the next morning. Definitely would stay again ##### Charlotte Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Decent hostel but still a hostel The staff are very helpful and kind. There's a luggage room you can use too although be warned: you may need to play Tetris squeezing yours in. There were a ton of luggages in place. But the room itself was serviceable, but highly dependent on who you get as per usual hostel rules. Not great procedures if you're trying to avoid getting sick. I wore a mask to sleep once I heard 2 people coughing and I only had the curtain to shield myself. Breakfast options were fine. You get a good enough option to be happy to go about your way. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved this hostel.
