This hostel was fairly clean. They did offer bedding so that was a plus. It's a great place if you just need somewhere to sleep. They do have a room for storage so that was nice throughout the day. It could have been a bit cleaner but it was livable for a night or two. It was pretty neat too how it was kinda naturie with animal room names.

This hostel is NOT opposite the railway station, as such, and it's not so easy to find either. Also, the staff were a bit iffy, we made a reservation over the phone, they took a credit card number, but when we rang later to confirm they said, 'that's just as well, we were about to give it away' as apparently they don't actually TAKE credit cards. So watch out and make sure you arrive by 6. The eating area is nice, and the kitchen is very good, but the wooden floors throughout the hostel mean that any late comers make a huge racket. Dorms smallish and cosy otherwise.
