A really great place to stay, so well organised, friendly and wonderful breakfast. The rooms at the back are quieter, and you can walk out the back to go up the hill to the castle.

We had a private room with shared bathroom facilities. It was clean and functional but very basic. We had to make and strip our own beds and we could not see towels available for rent.  …

It was okay for the price. Really early in the morning there was a kid stomping through the halls and talking really loudly, but this wasn't the hostel's fault of course. A lot of young families and young people who can be loud at times(again to be expected since this is a youth hostel). Breakfast was crowded and felt a bit messy, but the food itself wasn't bad, they were really nice buns fresh from the oven. Overall I prefer something more quiet and orderly, but to each their own.

Upon arrival at the DJH Hostel, I found out they had very limited free parking, with something like 6 or 7 spots, none of which were available at the time.  …

The rooms are okay, of you know what you have to expect (6 beds in one room), there are lockers for everybody but sadly the showers are outside the rooms and for about 5 rooms there are only 3 showers. The food is nice as long as you are not vegan. And the wifi is pretty good for a youth hostel

My friends and I stayed at the hostel for a week and despite the fact we made plenty of noise at all times of the day, all the staff were kind to us. The room was quite small but did the job! …
