The hostel is beautiful and well located. You will be able to see the castle from the window, or take steps in 2 minutes to get there. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean. The two guys at the reception were brilliant and very helpful. They welcomed me well, and I was provided a cup of coffee on my checkout although the breakfast time wasn't ready. Hoping to get back again.

Satisfied
I was in a 6 bed dorm, everyone was respectful and quiet, I had a good stay. The staff were quiet helpful whenever I had any questions, the only thing I could say that needs a little tweek, is the breakfast, couple of small adjustments, please, some wholemeal bread and an alternative to cows milk, like soy or oat?
Looking out of a side window in the early morning
