A great hostel in a great location!

Pros: Such a great location, walking distance to the main sights. Staff were friendly, the place was very clean and room was nicely heated. Really great hostel and would definitely recommend. Breakfast was included which was also nice (very basic breakfast but it ticked the box).

Cons: Would be nice if they had a communal kitchen, as being able to make your own food is good for budget travel. It did have a microwave and bar fridge but that’s all. That’s the only thing I feel was missing
