9.0

Super goede bedden, zalig geslapen, mega vriendelijk personeel en eigenaar en heerlijk pancakes in de ochtend! Bovendien ook vlakbij de supermarkt en op wandel afstand van de haven en strand. Ook een bushalte vlakbij de deur. Kortom zalige ervaring!

"Typiskt hostel"

7.0

Personalen var väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam, och läget var bra. Vi bokade upp ett helt rum istället för att dela med andra, och det väldigt bra att ett sådant alternativ erbjöds. Det va inte smutsiga rum.

Några av sängar hade konstiga fläckar. Det fanns ingen tvål i badrummet så ha med egen, även egna handdukar behövs. Det var också mycket begränsad parkering.

"Excellent"

8.0

I arrived by bus. It was very close to the bus stop. The hostel is small. It's a house converted into a hostel so it's very homely. Because it's small, people talk to each other and it has a very friendly vibe.

Slight lack of fridge space!

Nothing

Property wasn't very inviting from the outside. I went in took one look and walked out again. Expectations were pretty low but this place was a definite no no.

I had a very pleasant experience staying in PMB. The room was exceptionally clean, with clean sheets and a comfortable setup that made my stay enjoyable. The bathroom facilities were well-maintained, which added to the overall comfort. I was also very impressed by the level of hospitality and professionalism shown by the staff, particularly Ben, who went out of his way to ensure that my needs were met and that I felt welcome. His friendly and attentive service made a great impression and truly enhanced my stay. Overall, it was a comfortable and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this place to others.
