For the price this was a great accommodation, however one of the three nights I stayed was a Saturday and the club downstairs played extremely loud music until exactly 4am. The other two nights were quiet. Enjoyed the stay and found everything to expectations.

I stayed on the women only floor. The cabin did feel cozy, the common room area is spacious, comfortable and very pretty. Also, the location is awesome from a dining, attraction and transport viewpoint. I would definitely recommend for solo travellers. The only downside that I wasn’t prepared for is that there isn’t a duvet in the room. Aside from that, my stay was great.

I would rather stay at those 12 people per room dorm. This hostel is basically doing the same thing but put you with 30 more people in the same floor. The only benefit is that it has a door to lock your room.
