Too tight of quarters for my preference. And only 1 bathroom for 10 people in a very tight space. Definitely an art to maneuver luggage. And there is not an elevator to the third floor. Be ready :)

Very nice and clean hostel. I love it. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to get a Ferry to get to the hostel and back to the main island. Each way cost €9.5. Other than that, it is a great place to stay.

Loved that it wasn’t on a tourist island. Very quiet with lovely locals everywhere. Rooms were very tight/dark and there was no kitchen for hostel guests to use. The bar food downstairs wasn’t great but the environment was spacious, welcoming and easy to hang out in.

Overall decent stay. It would be good to give the bathrooms bath mats? The shower room would always have water on the floor since people had to step out without a bath mat.
