Great location, in the dead center of town Bunk beds were quite comfy and I got the bed in the corner I asked for

Check-in was rather quick with vague information. Tea was provided in the reception room below but had to go ask in the cafe for the kettle. No plugs by the bed, no shelf either. No locker (I think there might have been small ones for valuables in the reception room as I saw them, but wasn't given any info about them) No heating most hours of the day (only a few hours early morn and eve). I get heating's expensive these days but if you are making guests pay quite a lot to stay - especially in a dorm - the least you can do is to make sure guests are comfortable. Raise your prices if you're losing money, but don't make your guests uncomfortable. The owner said she left it on a bit longer for me after I asked, but I did touch the heater and it was stone cold. You can't even get warm with a nice hot shower because the water is lukewarm and it's one of those showers that stop working after about 10s, and you have to press the button again. You can't even press it before it ends to keep it going, it doesn't work. It only starts again once it's stopped and you press again. I arrived after a very rainy day spent outside, I was drenched and frozen, and not being able to warm up was awful. And while it's apparently too expensive to provide heating and hot working showers for guests, it was apparently fine to leave the cafe door wide open (was open when I left to go to a supermarket, still open when I came back) Icing on the cake was my only roommate who was clearly staying a while and leaving her stuff everywhere, and asking me if it was ok to do yoga in the room at 4am which was apprently "not the middle of the night" to her. She did end up doing it outside after I said no but ffs... And while hostel cannot control its guests, they can check the state of the room and ask said guest to not act as if it was their own private room.

Warm welcome from owner

I stopped over for one night and drove over to Snowdon the next day which was just a 20/30 min drive away. I also parked over night in a car park round the corner which was free during the night. Location was great, surrounded by picturesque streets. Decor in the hostel was great, a really nice aesthetic and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into it. Su was really welcoming and friendly. There was a nice and simple breakfast and I had some toast and fruit. There was also an option for a cooked breakfast. There weren’t many people staying so Su sorted a room to myself which was great. Wi-Fi was great and also plenty of plugs for charging in the rooms. Rooms were well heated and I didn’t get cold in the night when it was baltic outside. Lots of local bars and restaurants to choose from in the area. Would definitely stay again and maybe see a bit more of the town/beach in the summer.

The only issue I had was there’s a bar just across the road so it was a bit noisy with the single glazed windows. But not the hostels fault of course. It was a Saturday night also. Just a tip to bring earplugs if you’re visiting on the weekend!

The whole place was really nice. Loved the breakfast and the fact it was open before the marathon x

Not really usex to sharing but they were all great. Except somone pinched my towel which was special to me. My faithful running towel from Hardalot 10k in France x

Absolutely great location, and for the value we paid a good return on the investment. Great breakfast too.

You could hear some noise from the other rooms, so that was a bit bad.

Though we checked in at 2 am, we received a warm welcome. The staff was very friendly. We stayed in the family room, all 5 members. Perfect for the families.

Really accommodating of our last minute booking and arrival time. Really nice vibe, warm, friendly, I would thoroughly recommend. Good breakfast selection and ideally placed for cycling as right next to a quiet cycle route along the coast.

Friendly host. Enough space for the family to relax in the family room.

A bit noisy with other guests on the final night.
