This is a clean, well-located hostel, and would probably be ideal for older budget travelers and families. It is not the kind of hostel that many young travelers may be used to or looking for. It is not a party hostel. There is a no-alcohol rule that is taken very seriously, and a 1 am lock-out curfew. That said, I... more

This is a good hostel, the staff was really nice and friendly. The dormroom was spacious with comfy beds. Bathroom was good, quite big and superclean! The kitchen was also really clean.

The location is ideal and we... more

The price is great, the cozy and welcoming atmosphere is wonderful, we saved money by cooking our own food, very helpful staff in giving us ideas of what to see and do! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!... more
