The staff were so nice, especially the owner Raudin was very friendly and tried to make everything as easy as possible. You can tell that he really wants to improve the facilities. Really great value for money with the breakfast included! The location is also great and there were many people staying at the hostel, so felt very social as well! Special shoutout for the cute dog Mia!!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
