The place was clean, very well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great deal and food was good. Location was great! Ample street parking. Laundry facilities available for fee with detergent available to use. While still a social place, this hostel seemed to suit the non-traditional hostel goers quite well.

Fantastic and affordable. The Nest exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities along with the double room was gorgeous, modern, cozy and clean. Bus stop from town literally at the door step, and the one going towards the city centre only a couple of minutes away. Cannot recommend this enough, would definitely stay again!
