“A home away from home”
Very homely feeling. There was home baked cake, a tee and coffee corner with lots of choices. Our host put the heater on for us in the room as we were arriving late. I was first skeptical if the high ratings for this hostel were real, they are! More than justified.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at, and I've stayed in a lot of hostels. Clean, comfortable, beautiful garden, fully equipped kitchen, there is often home baking available for guests, two pillows on your bed and fresh milk with a huge selection of tea. It's a home away from home.
