I don't understand how this place has less than 10 stars. We were welcomed by Riccardo, who was very friendly throughout our stay. Room was simple but comfortable. Bathrooms were always clean. The pancakes in the morning were amazing, congrats to the chef! We loved this place and would stay here again!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in the centre of the town and facilities exactly as described. Great restaurant and bar downstairs (the breakfasts were very good!) Ample parking at back. Shared bathrooms were good. Shoebox rooms are really great value when travelling on a budget.

    It was very well managed and clean. The best hostel I've ever been to. The breakfast pancakes are delicious and this is a hostel with the best service. The staff are very friendly and everyone loves this hostel. I’ll definitely stay here again when I go to Albany. And the cat was really cute. Thank you!!

    Great value for money: cheaper than a hostel private room yet cleaner and more private. Good location opposite the bus and train station. Comfortable bed and room. Clean, good sized shared bathroom with hot water (equivalent to a good campsite bathroom block). Small kitchen with kettle, toaster and microwave, sufficient for breakfast, takeaway and reheating meals. More of a gastropub downstairs than I was expecting. I experienced only low level noise that didn't keep me awake: more from the beer garden outside than the bands inside.

    Clean and fully equipped!! perfect for families, with lots of kids as there’s plenty of bunk beds, in a separate room. Nice kitchenette and great bathroom/shower. Great location as well!
