I had such a great stay at Kinlay Hostel! Everything was so clean and tidy and I felt very safe! I made some great friends on the pub crawl! The breakfast was good for a hostel and I was actually shocked by how clean the bathrooms were.

Honestly, I have nothing negative to say at all! The only thing I regret is that I didn’t stay for longer!

"War ein angenehmer Aufenthalt."

10.0

Das Frühstück war im Preis inbegriffen und war üppig genug. Es gab Porridge, Brot, Müsli, Käse, Säfte, genug Kaffee und frisches Obst. Die Mitbewohner waren ruhig und nett und das Bad war immer frei, wenn ich es nutzen wollte. Es gab einen tollen Aufenthaltsraum.

An 3- 4 Nächten gab es Schnarcher im Zimmer und ich musste Ohrstöpsel nutzen, um schlafen zu können.
