Paintshop Hostel

Paintshop Hostel is a perfect place to stay. Warm and friendly atmosphere, excellent location, and clean and tidy rooms are guaranteed in this place.

The Location

The hostel is situated in a perfect location. It's in five minutes' walk to the city center, beaches, and train station. There is a small car park in the beginning of the street (two to three minutes' walk from hostel). There is a bar in the hostel and there are some cafes, bars, and shops just in a few steps from hostel as well. Glass doors are very noticeable.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The two-tier beds are very comfy and bed linen is included. Dorms, toilets, and showers are reasonably spacious, very clean, and in good condition. There are only two bathrooms (with toilet, sink, and shower) and they become very busy in the mornings. Even if the bar is downstairs, dorms are very quiet (bar and dorms are on the different floors and in different corners of building, separated by sitting room, kitchen, and inner garden). Dorms have door locker and personal lockers are available in the reception.

Common Spaces

The hostel has all facilities you need. In reception room, hostel provides personal lockers, bicycle hiring, storage place for your surfboard or bike or whatever. Also there are two computers with free internet. Kitchen is clean and supplied with all necessary equipment (cooker, microwave, dishes, cutlery). Sitting room is very comfy with sofas and tables, pool table, and TV. There is a nice bar in inner garden. In other words they have almost everything. Reception is open twenty-four hours. The atmosphere in the Paintshop is very friendly and warm. You always can have some fun in the bar downstairs or with the pool table.

Summary

It's a perfect place to stay with excellent location and very friendly atmosphere. The only disadvantage is your own alcohol is not allowed in the sitting room, because there is a bar here. But prices in the bar are very reasonable.
