I had to pay by cash although I had given my card details online. Luckily atm was just across the road, high charges though. Room was on the 2nd floor which didn't help lugging a big bag up the stairs. Room was warm and bed itself was comfortable and kitchen area was sociable. Bathroom was clean but could do with a dryer or hand towels. Location was handy, train station is about 12-20 mins walk depending on luggage, terrain was not flat. Overall a good experience, would stay again if travelling solo.

I enjoyed my stay here. A beautiful property set right by the river. Missed having a plug to charge my phone in the room, but other than that, awesome!

The Old Mill Hostel is housed in a historic building dating back to around 1780, it brings a lot of charm to the place while everything has been well renovated. The staff is very welcoming. Thomas paid attention to details and made sure every guest feels at home. Bedrooms and linen are comfy which makes guests sleeping well and being nice. The showers water was at the right temperature which is quite difficult to get in an hostel, congrats on this. The only negative point was the breakfast is very simple but it still a good value for money. I will defintetely come back to that place.

Beds are tidy but the floor hasn't been hovered of mopped for ages. Bathrooms are also tidy, as well as the kitchen. They have no lockers, so taken care of your belongings. Don't leave it at reception, just as I asked to leave my bag there, a man came in who left his bag at reception but it wasn't there anymore when he wanted to pick it up. I watched that the common rooms aren't always occupied by the stuff, so things begins reception an easily be removed by strangers. Breakfast is ok, toast, jam and coffe or tea. They had the same old cut apples for my two days of stay. They were already brown and didn't look well. But there is a supermarket just around the corner so you can make your own breakfast. Even though when they say "breakfasts included" i expect more.
