A very nice house in a peaceful neighbourhood, within walking distance to the port and the old town centre. The staff were very kind and helpful, giving lots of useful information. They work at the nearby Hotel Soma, where you also pick up the keys, and there are free town maps available as well. The hostel was very clean, and guests have their own bedrooms (not shared). There is a cosy living room with a sofa. You can cook for yourself or have meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) in the Hotel Soma for a very reasonable price. Hot drinks (tea/coffee) can be taken for free (this applies for hostel guests only of course). By the way, many people who work in the Hotel Soma are Christians, and when I asked them about it (because I am a Christian as well), they told me to feel free to join their worship gatherings (on Wednesdays they are in English!). I was very happy about it. And also, if you like running, I recommend signing up for the Aasiaat Midnight Sun marathon (end of June). I loved it! The price was very high in my opinion. I am from Slovenia-Europe and we are generally used to much lower-affordable prices in hostels. It is true you get your own room here, and all profits are directed toward welfare programs for the local community, which is great, but still it is expensive. Otherwise it was nice!
