Interesting old building, neat that it was a converted church (with vaulted ceiling, stained glass windows--the whole deal!) Clean, staff was mostly friendly and helpful. Not exactly right in the middle of town, but close enough.

the building is very beautiful on the outside. The inside is a little worn, and the high ceilings look like they've never been cleaned. The showers were scalding hot (no temp controls). It was amazing to stay in an old church, though.

The security to enter the building which is a church is good but the there are no keys or locks to stop someone from entering the rooms. The showers were not the cleanest although the bedsheets did seem clean. The staff was very nice though and were very helpful and provided us with some useful tips. The kitchen is also good.

This hostel is an old converted church. That sounds good at first but the rooms on the main level are just four walls thrown up with no ceiling. There is one power outlet for a room of 8 people and no roof!! So that means you can hear everything everyone in the whole place is doing. There is one half bath on the main floor and one girl and one guys bathroom in the basement that are filthy.... This place is cheap but given the option again I would throw out a few more dollars and book a different hostel.

Very unique hostel, excellent value. Strict alcohol policy takes away from the fun however, but this is to keep noise down at night. Excellent choice for young travellers on a budget.

The toilet was a little bit dirty, but the atmosphere in the old church is unique! Too bad some other guys forgot that the rooms have no ceilings when they were leaving. So it was very loud in the morning and everyone woke up. The common rooms are great: library, pool table, tv room, a bar and a big kitchen.
