This is a lovely hostel! I wish we could have stayed for a longer time. There's very comfortable lounge and kitchen areas, and whilst the bedroom is space isn't huge, there's plenty of space in the rest of the building. Great, friendly hosts as well who stayed up late for our late night arrival. Bathrooms are well equipped and most of them pretty spacious, well equipped and generally clean - although like almost every backpacker hostel I've ever been too, it wouldn't hurt for them to have a thorough clean in all the corners. ##### bronwyn ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard, London 9 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxed at the station house Wonderfull place to stay.
