Excellent hostel. Even though there were lots of people in my room the beds are separated so well with 'wooden walls' that you don't really hear the other people. Clean place, nice staff and generally a fantastic hostel. One of the top 10 I've been to, (and I've stayed in many).
Definitely a good overall stay, only went back to sleep so it wasn’t too bad but the sheets did give a bit of a weird smell. For the price though I wasn’t complaining much and would use again.
The hostel was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was small but beds were big and it was all the space you needed. Showers upstairs were spotless and very nice. Great place to stay and very affordable!
