Great location for solo travellers. The receptionist/owner was very nice and welcoming. Surprisingly, there’s also free breakfast, which is just enough to give you some energy to start the day. I will definitely come back to this lovely and safe hostel!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a wonderful stay at Oldtown Hostel Otter! The staff were especially fantastic: welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. The location is excellent, the price is great, and everything was clean and comfortable. I would happily stay here again and recommend it a thousand times!
I only have one small complaint: the snoring from some of the roommates! 😂 Maybe the hostel could have a special room just for the snorers! Just kidding, everything else was perfect
Perfect 👌

The staff is very nice and the entire place is very cosy with cute otter paintings on walls. It's very easy to find as the location is central in the old part of town right above a bar. It's a hostel, so always some interesting people to talk to.
The rooms are nicely organised, but the bed I was sleeping on didn't agree with my back. I was in september and while not hot, someone closed the windows during the night and the room got stuffy.
