Nice relaxing hostel
Comfortable bed. Decent hot shower. Lockers in the dorm that appeared to be secure. Unusually for a hostel, they provided shampoo and handwash in the showers and bathroom.
It's rather spartan but is relaxing and enjoyable. Has most things you need. The one thing lacking was a kettle.
