We stayed in the private rooms, and they were really good and quiet. The bathrooms were clean, the beds comfy, and the towels changed every two days! It was almost as good as staying in a hotel. The only thing missing was a mini fridge in the room. The free breakfast was ok, although the tables were often a little crowded between 9AM-10AM and it was hard to find a place to sit, but still, a free breakfast in a hostel is a huge plus side! We would definitely recommend this hostel! Maaria, from Finland ~ 23rd Jan 2012
