Room 4 is free tonight
Stay a night. Stay a season.
Nine beds and three private rooms in a house that grew slowly. Come for one thing, leave with another.
Two houses, one family.
The original social hostel.
The first house. Bunks, long tables and a common room where plans get made at midnight — easy to arrive alone, hard to stay alone.

The details we sweat.

- — Reading lights that don't wake your bunkmate.
- — Blackout curtains for the traveller who slept badly on the train.
- — A small dish for keys, coins, a stone you picked up somewhere.
- — One good book per bed. Take it, leave one behind.
Rooms with no doors.

For long conversations.
Reading Attic
A small library above the stairs.

Two weeks and the place starts feeling like yours.
By day three you'll know the barista's dog. By week two you'll be the one showing new arrivals where to find the good momos.
We keep a small desk free for people who work with their hands or their laptops. Come, plant something, cook a Wednesday dinner, teach us a song.

Small questions.
- Do you take walk-ins?
- Almost always. We keep a couple of bunks free for people who arrive without a plan.
- Can I stay a month?
- Yes — ask about our weekly and monthly rates. Longer stays mean a small key of your own.
- Is the café open to guests only?
- No. Half the joy is meeting the neighbourhood over a cup of coffee.
- Do you allow pets?
- We have a house cat. Small dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.
