    A wonderful and welcoming stay

    My stay was fantastic. the cleanliness of both my room and the shared areas stood out, and having access to Netflix made my evenings cozy. Breakfast had great options including homemade bread, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, like I was at a friend's place. However, it would have been helpful to have clearer communication on accessing the property before my arrival.

    secure locker
    solid breakfast
    great amenities
    lack of privacy
    crowded hallways

    The accommodations offer personal lockers for each guest, ensuring your belongings stay secure. They provide a solid breakfast spread, including cereal, bagels, and coffee, available until late morning, making it easy to fuel up for the day. Those seeking entertainment will appreciate the two TVs with cable and Netflix, along with free Wi-Fi that actually holds up.

    Things can get pretty toasty if you're in a crowded dorm room, and I found the narrow hallways created some awkward moments when moving around, especially during busy times. There's a definite lack of privacy as most rooms aren’t fully enclosed. for solo female travelers, the unaddressed smoking odor in certain common areas could be concerning. Also, the bathrooms, while clean, can occasionally get congested during peak hours.

    homemade goodies
    cozy garden
    shared bathroom upkeep

    I had such a fun time borrowing a bike to explore the area and enjoying the homemade goodies in the kitchen. The cozy garden area is perfect for relaxing, and I loved unwinding in the lounge after a long day. Just a heads up, the shared bathrooms could use a bit more upkeep, but it didn’t ruin my stay at all! 😊

    Staying at the hostel was a pleasant experience, with clean rooms and friendly staff making it feel welcoming. Free breakfast and bike rentals add great value. However, the mattress was uncomfortable, and the bathroom might run out of hot water during busy times, so be mindful of that.
