It's a peculiar place. At the beginning looks quite creepy with the animals painting and all old things, than looks you just travel in time and it's fun.
Very old building with an amazing story.
The toilets need some improvement.

I have stayed here before and have always loved this place. Every room has a different animal theme. Heaters in every room helps with the cold and plenty of blankets which is nice cause cotton sheets in winter makes for a cold bed.
Being limited to a 3 minute shower

One of my favorite hostels I've ever been to! It feels like time is standing still there and you can just relax and enjoy life peacefully. I ended up extending my stay just to enjoy the place a little longer. I'm really glad to have found this little gem.
Some more pros:
- very clean
- has everything you need in the kitchen
- cosy living room with a piano and guitars, always someone playing music
- cosy TV room
- plenty of space to sit outside
- bedrooms are spacious, beds are comfortable
- everything is decorated with so much love and detail. It feels like a home rather than a hostel
- nicest staff and open-hearted owners who are happy to help you out with any problems

The effort put into the theme and little Knick knacks around the place, wish I had more time to check out all the little details.
Bathroom was a bit spooky but I did just bury my Nan the day before so might just be a little sensitive.
