    Pleasantly surprised with our stay here, the private room we stayed in was basic but clean and a great price, just what we wanted. The area just north of the hostel was also really great for bars, restaurants and cafes all within walking distance....

    The Guesthouse exceeded my expectations, considering the cost. I’m very picky about cleanliness and I felt very comfy with my king room. I could easily have shared a bathroom. Friendly welcome and relaxed and simple vibes.
