Stayed here for 3 nights in October and found the hostel very cold and unwelcoming. The facilities are in serious need of an upgrade and it was difficult to cook effectively with the other guests as there were not enough facilities and a lot of things were broken or didn't work. The rooms were very cold and one of the... More

Recently spent five days here. How a double room ensuite in the separate house. Great value for money, central and quiet (except for the evening of a festival when people were carousing late!). Sylvia is friendly and unobtrusive which gave us privacy. Very handy as a diving base as it's a couple of minutes from the boats. The last day... More

I was given one of the tiny single rooms which was fine for the money, but very small indeed - basically just the bed and a tiny space to stand alongside it. Quite... More

Friendly but cheap owner. No heat in bedrooms (I had to use my hairdryer to the heat room!) or kitchen (we used the oven for heat!) Not recommended for a winter stay!!

I stayed here for three nights and our room suited us fine with our big bags. We know we are staying in a HOSTEL so we expect smaller rooms and shared amenities. We were pleased to find free laundry and internet services and there is a grocer nearby to buy items from. The heat worked in our rooms and there... More
