It is overpriced for next day booking for a stay. The bedding is great. They introduce a €5 deposit for a towel and it might create a trade for some. My wet towel was missing during my sleep, luckily the staff gave me another fresh towel otherwise I would lose my deposit and someone else might love my et towel smell and got €5 out of it ##### James Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vittorio 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is perfect, and the hostel is amazing.

Central location for our port house wine touring. Made to order breakfast + additional buffet was satisfying. Bed was firm/hard, but this wasn’t a big issue for our one-night stay. We stayed in a private room - I believe this location has dorm/hostel rooms as well. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely stay in a safe area. The staff are really helpful and nice. The beds are large and comfortable. The breakfast is simple and buffet-style with some fresh items like eggs made to order. They offer 24/7 water and luggage storage. I hope to see more bins placed around (since the only one is in Kitchen).
