Liked: You really get value for money at this hostel. Hot showers 24 hours, come and go as you like, nice breakfast and a clean guest kitchen. Only drawbacks are that there are no shower changing rooms. Since there's no curfew either you may have to work something out regarding the lights on/off in the room.
