The room was large and spacious, good powerful shower and a great bonus poolside access, to a great little pool for my daughter. Had a lovely evening meal and a great breakfast sat looking over the river, truly beautiful with kingfishers flying past.

This was one of my favourite hostels while travelling around. Common spaces were clean and comfortable. Rooms were big and comfortable. I really liked bunk beds, because they were wooden and shaped into a L-form so there was more space for the person sleeping on the lower bunk. Every evening they offer you free chocolate pudding, which is more like a cake but I loved it! Apparently also vegan friendly! Really enjoyed my stay there, would recommend.
