The hostel offers a continental or Full English/Irish breakfast. Loved this place! Felt so cozy and homey. Lots of open spaces and common areas, there’s also a pool where guests can cool off. Kitchen facilities were right at the dorm room which was so convenient. There’s a stove, microwave, and fridge that guests could use. The location is great too. Sure, it’s not at the town center but it’s in a safe, quiet residential area. If you need food, there’s a SPAR just 20 minutes away on foot, as well as a couple of restaurants. The staff could help you order food for delivery too. If you need to go to the town center, it’s easy to book a cab from here. It’s easy to book tours. Dave helped me book the perfect tour and found people I could join to cut down expenses cause i was traveling solo. The staff were great! They were all friendly and helpful. Dave and Bella were the perfect hosts, made me feel right at home! Wish i could have stayed longer!
