Perfect hostel!
First time staying in a hostel, I had a pod in a room of 16 (mixed) Pod was a lil hot at times but I took a USB powered fan which helped & was perfect for what I needed. Showers & toilets were together as I was on the 3rd floor. Always clean! No matter what time of the day I used them. Cleaner came in around 10am which was perfect if you needed that little longer in bed. Location was amazing, I was a 20 minute walk from all the locations I wanted to see! The cafe down stairs was nice to go in after a long day of sight seeing, grab a drink & chill for bit before heading up to my pod. I didn’t use the chill out area so I can’t comment but lots of people were using it. The kitchen has everything you need. You can get boxes to pop your food shop in which I thought was a nice touch. Everything you need to cook, eat & store food. Also free pool table! Only down side, which isn’t the hostels fault! People aren’t courteous of others. I’m pretty sure I had an elephant sleeping in the pod above me. They stomped around, throwing their shoes down when they got into their pod. Slamming the door when they left (doors can be close quietly coming into the room but not leaving annoyingly) every time they walked around my whole bed shook haha I found it funny once I blocked them out with ear plugs! Which you can get free from reception. Warning, 3rd floor no lift but that didn’t bothered me. Gutted these guys don’t have more hostels in & around Europe as I would happily re book with them!

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.
