This was probably one of the best hostels we've ever stayed in. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and everywhere was spotless. Washing facilities were expensive but easy to access. There was a faint odour in our room and it's a bit chilly to open the window to air it out in winter, but this wasn't a huge issue. Parking was free and convenient.
