    The pillows don't compress under your head. I found them too thick for comfort and slept on a folded towel instead.

    I liked the grandeur of the "big house" with huge timbers in the ceiling, spacious rooms with high ceilings, a balcony above the courtyard to enjoy the morning sun, and a garden in the rear with comfortable sofas and hammocks. It made for good conversations with several other guests. The staff work to make you comfortable, bringing in tasty food from a restaurant and keeping it quiet after 10 pm. It represents a good value for the price. The location is convenient but noise-free.

    Make sure you keep your balcony window opened at night as it can get quite hot

    Wi-fi in my room was weak and I had to go to the co-working space to be able to use the Internet. No hot water :-(. It's not too bad for a shower, but washing your hair is a problem. The pictures are too flattering - in reality the room looks different. That said, given the price, great value if you're a budget traveller

    The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes from the main square. Fresh juice and a choice of eggs / omelette for breakfast. Excellent value for money Gave a short, but helpful overview of the town / things to do upon arrival. The room was clean

    The building is a very old one and regardless you’re staying in a dorm or room, every room takes the noise inside so it was really loud, I couldn’t sleep well. But because of the people living there, I didn’t want to change my hostel :)

    First I booked one night in the dorm but because it was really loud, I changed it to private the next day. The staff is amazing, they are so kind and helpful with everything. Really thanks a lot to Emmanuel, great guy. Free breakfast every morning is adequate with juice and coffee. They have daily activities and also recommend you different tours. The location is just the best.
