The Nest Boutique Hostel

The Galmont
Location was nice and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful but we've felt we had to request for things...not a biggy but noticeable. We're not really big on breakfast so can't offer any feedback but their scones and jam were pretty good when we had them.
