"Beautiful hostel overlooking the park and lake. Friendly staff allowed me to check in early as my bed was ready and even asked if I wanted a top or bottom bunk which was much appreciated. The kitchen was spacious and the rooms and bathroom were very clean. The 4 bed female dorm felt a bit cramped at times but the bed setup is well thought out with privacy curtains, generous underbed storage and an additional smaller locker, both of which can be padlocked. Highly recommend this hostel!"
