Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hostel was located close to the nearest grocery store, so that was convenient, but it's a bit of a walk from the train station if you're planning to carry lots of luggage. The single room was adequate, but very basic. The kitchen was very good, although the system of tagging food was different (I've been to hostels where they provide baskets that you tag with your food, not tagging every single item).

Good value but group noise is problem

Be aware that this facility often hosts large student groups who may well disturb your nightime peace and sleep. Otherwise, staff are excellent and while the 70s building is dated the place is tidy, clean and has a remarkably well equiped kitchen. Suggest reserving an ensuite bath if you travel as a couple.

Good Quality Hostal with helpful friendly staff.

Great staff. Good kitchen. Refillable bottled water fountain available. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Spacious lounge. Breakfast available. Only drawback, rooms are not very well insulated so can be noisy. I always carry earplugs so I can sleep.

Calm and peaceful hostel

Great location, nice and peaceful and calm but easy walking distance from the station and the town. The hostel had a lovely quiet calm atmosphere. The staff at reception was very friendly. The communal areas and facilities were spacious and very well equipped. The room was naturally basic, as expected, but comfy and clean and well appointed with things like sockets/USB points and bedside tables with reading lamps. I would stay here again.
