Everyone at the hostel, employees and other hostel goers alike, were so friendly and welcoming! We really enjoyed participating in the group activities the hostel offered. Great accommodations too - comfy bed, clean bathrooms, fun lobby to hang out. And i would be remiss not to mention the awesome make-your-own pancake breakfast. We would 100% stay at ITH again!

This was a great stay! I had a room in the "dorm" and it was quiet and convenient. It's near the train station and walkable to the harbor, pier, and downtown. Everyone was so polite and friendly! The place was clean and quiet.

Great location next to the train station. I got the feeling from the stuff that they don't like what they are doing as they were a bit off. The breakfast was very low quality compare to other hostels I've been.

Good.

This was one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. Granted, it's only a hostel bed, but the staff was very friendly on check-in, the hostel is in a great location just near the restaurants and the beach (and the train station!), and they even hosted a special social event on Friday night where I met some people.
