Liked: The feeling of being home was the best part of staying @ the hostel. The living room had plenty of things to do and people to talk to. The information boards to find grocery stores, top tourist attractions and hostel information was a critical tool for my trip and i greatly appreciated it being there.

Disliked: Can't honestly think of anything I didn't like. Maybe a larger shoe shelf haha.
