Nice relaxing hostel
Comfortable bed. Decent hot shower. Lockers in the dorm that appeared to be secure. Unusually for a hostel, they provided shampoo and handwash in the showers and bathroom.
It's rather spartan but is relaxing and enjoyable. Has most things you need. The one thing lacking was a kettle.

Location very good for food/walkable town area.
If you like classic and old building this style will fullfill you need. Only the staircase I think owner need to fix, some of the part already loose. pls take a look on it!
It was great the location, the room and everything but I really think there should be a curtain for a hostel to keep the privacy for the guest and the wifi is not really good. Still the overall is great the staff are really nice. I would recommended it👍
