100% recommend
Pros:

The setting of this hostel is the highlight, the river running through and the gardens make it is delightful place to spend time. The activities are consistent and well organised. The bar is reasonably priced with good daily specials. The kitchen is big and well stocked.
The pods and novel and the bed is comfortable. The bathrooms and clean, with toiletries provided.
Free breakfast is provided (but we didn't take part).
Well located in town for everything you need, especially the big supermarket over the way.

Cons:

Sleep in the pods was very warm, especially as a couple.
Communal kitchen is messy, but that is down to the other guests more than the hostel staff.
