    Tom is a great host! It is easy to communicate with him since he can speak English. He explained and gave me the instructions to get to his place. The location is close to the old town but far enough to be calm and relaxed. Also, it is very close...

    Excellent bohemian style hostel. As others have mentions the host Tom is awesome and will go out of his way to guarantee you make whichever expeditions you choose on time. Also there is tasty home-cooked food and beer.
