Comfortabel en gezellig
Pros:

De kamers, de faciliteiten, de locatie, koffie,

Cons:

De 2 honden die bij het hostel zijn waren erg lief, echter is er 1 die in de nacht plots luidruchtig en langdurig kan blaffen wat mij wakker maakte.

Pros:

the courtyard is nice

Cons:

The room is dark and damp with a musty smell. The blankets have a bit of an odor, and the shower water isn't hot—it's only lukewarm.

Pros:

Comfortable beds, great outdoor space, fresh coffee very good location 🙏

Cons:

Not big issue's, but worth being mindful of, is the hot shower is dependent on sun and the common area, just outside the dorm, can get a little noisy in the evening with guests drinking.
