Time Out
"Hosts travelers in its antique-decorated space. There are a total of 80 beds in a dormitory setting. Chill out on the front porch or by the marble fireplace or use the facility’s free bikes."

Due to its secluded location, having a car or some sort of transportation is ideal.
Lonely Planet
Top Choice
" In its public areas, set with antiques, harp, oriental rugs and paintings, the place is more like a B&B than a hostel; the dorms themselves are basic. "
