Sir Toby's Hostel

When the staff is polite, friendly and willing to give their best, the rest is marvelous,in arrival I encountered an inconvenience which was kindly resolved by the receptionist and management, for which I am very grateful. It is a hostel with a jovial atmosphere, comfortable beds, The private bathrooms are very clean, there is a terrace where a friendly atmosphere is generated between people from all over the world, a well-equipped kitchen and a bar where you can enjoy good conversations; It's a hostel that maintains prices adapted to its young travelers, I recommend it!.

The staff in particular were incredibly friendly (shoutout Bob the bartender), and the value for a bed is exceptional - a dormitory bed at Sir Toby’s Hostel for 3 day was £42.42 (GDP) when I booked. Location being about 20-30 minutes out from Old Town meant that you avoid a significant amount of tourist crowd and you get to experience the quiet life of the city. The offering of an underground lounge/bar was a incredible atmosphere to talk to other travellers and there is also a quaint garden area for those who want fresh air, as well as balconies on every floor for people to use. WiFi was generally satisfactory and beds were also comfortable, though can be a little hot for some people.

Really comfy bed, actually, and the entire staff were super friendly. I only had breakfast there once, but it was good and worth the price. There was even a free Christmas Eve dinner, which was really a nice touch and very tasty as well. The neighbourhood is great - it's really easy to get to the centre or outside of the city if you want, but just a bit calmer with great places to eat or get a coffee nearby. I really enjoyed my stay!

The whole vibe was so cool. It made you feel welcome and the staff took care of you. The cleaning staff were very friendly and quick with their work while acknowledging that people were still sleeping. The placement of the hostel is nicely placed so you aren’t disturbed by sirens and the mass of people.

The community atmosphere during Christmas Eve was amazing. There was free dinner and live guitar music. Guests went on stage to sing, too. Including me, cheered by the crowd. On the note of the female dorm room, it is decent.
