“Amazing place”
21 Mar 2025
Amazingly cute little place with a penguin theme. Generous common areas, both inside and out to be used by all freely. I slept in the dorm room and it was big, fresh and the beds were very comfy. The service was great and they answered quickly when I had a small issue. I could even dry my laundry out in their garden! A place with everything you could possibly need from hairdryer and schampoo to borrow to even complimentary cookies to take with coffee.

“It was amazing and I totally recommend this place! Very comfry beds and lovely decorations, amazing big shared rooms.”
