This hostel is located at the edge of the old town which makes it easy to reach the old town & the city. The 'oldhouse' quirky decor definitely adds to the appeal. So much amazing wallpaper! We had a private double which was spacious. The main down fall is that the Walls are thin so could hear the 2 rooms... More

It's a very good and well sited budget hostel within easy reach of all old town attractions. Staff are pleasant and very friendly and helped us by booking taxi and giving directions etc. We never used cooking facilities as we ate out, everywhere is walkable from the hostel for eating/ drinking requirements. There was a range of different guest ages... More

Old House is a cheap option in a good location, and seems pretty well kept. But you get what you pay for: this place is adequate, but no more. The biggest drawback is that the walls are paper thin; I could hear the person next door snoring as if they were in the room with me. More

I booked this hostel after reading lots of good reviews and was shocked at how bad the place was. Every night I had to sleep with ear plugs in due to road traffic noise on the cobbled street outside (cars made the windows shake), noise from other guests in the lounge late into the night and noise from staff members...

We stayed in the Old House Guesthouse for five nights. It was very homely, cosy, clean, comfortable and warm at all times, and it's prime location on the edge of the Old Town meant we could walk everywhere, which was definitely a plus! Sharing two showers (which were in the same room) and two toilets could have led to major... More

We booked a 5 bed room for 5 people for a weekend break in March 2011. The room was very comfortable and clean and was always warm. We found the whole hostel to be clean and tidy at all times during our stay. The staff were also very friendly and on hand at all hours. There is a small TV... More

Old hostel was a surprise in many ways. The furnishings are as suggested by the name, old fashioned but in condition. We booked one private double room and on dorm bed. The private room was small but comfortable with a window out onto the street. We didn't have an issues with noise, and in many ways it was more like... More

There was about 10cm space between the beds and no other... More
