Reasonable hostel Fairly stylish fittings, not too big, clean showers and toilets (although the bathrooms tended to flood). The dorms have twelve beds in them and can feel a little cramped. There were no lockers or door locks, and with a combination code for the main door only, anyone could have come in. Nice but not terribly special.

Jacobs is a fun and friendly hostel/hotel. The dorm bit is called Dorm.no and this is the bit you might be booking. The combination of single hotel rooms, apartments and dorms combined with a strong local contingent makes evenings in the garden or bar an exciting mix.
The dorms and communal areas, including the kitchen, are kept spotlessly clean and there is always clean linen once you have paid the one off fee.
During my visit it was quite quiet as it was the end of the season and I suspect that if the hostel were full there would be a wait for one of the three showers in the morning.
The kitchen is nicely laid out but could be better equipped, there is no oven or grill for example.
Possibly the only thing worthy of serious criticism is security. Although the back gate and dorm entrance are protected by key codes these doors tend to be left open during the day. The staff tell me that theft is rare to non-exisitant and seem very relaxed about it. Use the lockers provided for your passport and MP3 player and should not have problems.
At night all the doors are secured so no worries there either.
Highly recommended! AH 15/9/06
