    Even though this hostel is not located in the city center, I would absolutely stay there again. This is definitely a place where you feel guests' comfort was considered: there's a lot of places to hang out, the beds are comfortable and have blinds...

    The breakfast was pretty good. The staff was really helpful and very kind. The location is a little fur from the city centre, but there are a lot of restaurants around it, so if u wanna avoid the city centre mess, it is a good option for u.
