This hostel is inside a really beautiful building - I can't quite remember the history of it but was it some sort of convent once?! I am not sure. It was lovely though, and great to stay somewhere interesting and special. It was clean and had lovely wooden floors, and a huge sort of sitting room with a mosaic feature... More

We have used this hostel with groups of young people as a base for hiking. From the efficient service, rooms accomodating up to 24 or so, to the comfortable lounge and homemade brown bread at breakfast, this facility is perfect for our needs.
