Jake, the owner, is very helpful and friendly and showed us to a small but nice double room. It can get a little bit noisy because it the toilets and showers are right outside but you soon get used to it.

Lovely hostel, clean, tidy and a warm friendly atmosphere. Helpful staff gave a great intro to the area including all the local shops and their hours/prices and details for the ferry. Room was comfortable, and bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Can't recommend it highly enough! More
