"A great hostel near to the train station. It was so nice to have a hot shower with pressure. Very friendly staff always smiling. It has a nice hangout area which doubles as a cafe. Which you buy voffe cakes etc from. There is a fridge and a microwave a with a small kitchen to use.The room is clean the a/c works well, capsule rooms have space for everything. it's quiet at night, no noise from the road but due the tile flooring you can hear people moving through doors. Would happily stay again 👍"
