"Interesting place - no staff, self check-in, clean and good facilities. The self checkin code to collect the key wad hidden in an email, whereas you are lead to believe it's on the 'guest web portal'. So took me a while to find the code in the relevant email on arrival. The check-in, including various emails and online portals is a bit complicated. "

"This was a wonderful hostel to stay at!

The hostel itself was very clean, it has a nice garden, it is near a river. Very good relaxation spot!"
