Clean comfortable hostel.

Pros: Cheap, nice staff, clean
Cons: For the price it is great..
Location: The hostel is within walking distance of town on a main road. Very close to the hospital if you needed to be close by.
This hostel is not far from town. It is very clean and comfy.. the twin room was small but the accommodation was otherwise brilliant. Lovely large lounge with table tennis and air hockey tables. Very good prices also. I would stay again..
