    Fantastic location, knowledgeable and friendly staff gave me fantastic recommendations for where to go and what to see really helped me to squeeze in all the best spots with only a short stay. Incredible looking place looking forward to a return...

    Incredible hotel. It was ideal for travelling alone as the bunk rooms did not feel like a hostel. As I'm in my 30s it was a welcome feel staying at a place that was so well priced and overall design felt very mature but still fun! My favourite...
