My stay at the hostel was filled with quite a few ups and downs. The charming atmosphere and opportunities for socializing with fellow guests added a magical touch for my daughter and her friends, making it a fun experience. However, the experience varied, as some aspects left a lot to be desired, particularly regarding basic amenities and room access for my disabled partner. While the value for the price was decent, the lack of basic comforts like a TV and kettle was disappointing.
