Whether it's the welcome shot or the friendly guys on reception or the clearly happy guests, it immediately feels like home. The place has great facilities, including a free fussball table and 24 hour bar with beer on tap. It's... More

This hostel is amazing! The staff go out of their way to help with a welcome shot and friendly smiles always. Mia was great and Lina was awesome in the pub crawl. The rooms are spacious and under bed lockers are big enough for large backpacks. It's very clean and 2 common rooms are great. The location is perfect for... More

We had a fab time at the Naughty Squirrel! It's well located, very clean, has a great atmosphere, there are numerous day-trips on offer (the shooting range was ace!) and - best of all - the staff are fantastic! They genuinely can't do enough for you and can recommend great places to eat/drink/visit. Definitely check out Ala, Martin's, Oldest Bar... More

a very well designed, maintained and managed hostel. The 3 different common areas in reception are sometimes a little bit of a divide but it's such a big hostel it'll be hard to stay here and not meet good people. I had a great stay with great friendly staff
