Adorably decorated building. Clean bathrooms, common areas, etc. First time staying at a hostel, so pleasantly surprised. The open ceilings in the cabins were a bit rough as every little sound may keep you up if a sensitive sleeper. Bed was comfortable enough, with the cabin big enough for only one bag with some hooks for other things. Would stay again, especially considering the price.

For the price this was a great accommodation, however one of the three nights I stayed was a Saturday and the club downstairs played extremely loud music until exactly 4am. The other two nights were quiet. Enjoyed the stay and found everything to expectations.

Take the 3 stars with a grain of salt - everything was great except the fact that I was too tall for the bed. It made for a pretty terrible sleep experience because my feet hung off the end. I’m only 5’8.5” tall. Other than that, I felt safe and it was quiet and clean.
