Room was simple and did the job, but can get a little warm especially in the summer. Breakfast was good too and location very convenient. Staff very accommodating, and kitchen a bit small for the number of people using it but has what you need to make a meal.

The hostel has an attractive Swiss chalet style and is in a good location, with several seating areas to relax and a large kitchen. The rooms tend to be small, but they are adequate and clean. The staff is not very attentive or helpful.The breakfast is good, but coffee with milk comes at an extra charge. Overall a very good hostel.
