Never stayed in a dorm room before, and I wouldn’t hesistate to do again. Very clean, especially the communal kitchen and bathrooms etc. great views from the room, and I slept like a log! Will definitely be back!

I highly recommend this hostel, it’s a last-minute booking, but it turned out such a nice stay. The hostel is just by the lake, with misty view right outside of the window in the morning. Close to bus station, transportation convenient. What’s more, my roommates are amazing, three girls from London, one from the US.

The view was great, the service was also good,they gave us a lake view room when we asked for it in spot and they also upgraded our room

The hostel was great and worth the stay for different reasons:
1. Amazing location with big lake, near public transportation
2. Friendly and helpful staff, you can borrow hair dryer at the reception. You can keep your bag in locker room also, bring £1 coin or ask lovely staff for tap to pay.
3. Huge shared kitchen with lots of cooking essentials which can be used to cook nearly everything you can.
4. Clean and well maintained room.
Can’t ask for more with this price.
