Liked: This is quite a clean hostel, with a large self-catering kitchen so you can cook your own meals. Shower facilities are nice.

Disliked: It is extremely crowded, and there are not nearly enough chairs in the dining area for everyone so you often are left with nowhere to eat. It just seems like slightly too many people for the space and I felt like I was always bumping into people in the kitchen, dining area, and hallways.

Liked: Small, cozy, everyone like a big happy family :) Such a relaxed atmosphere, very clean (probably the cleanest kitchen I saw during my 4 weeks of travel), good showers, welcoming and flexible staff... Almost like staying at someone's home, with the movie sessions in the TV room etc. Good location, free earplugs if noise from the bars bothers.

Disliked: People didn't close our room door properly all the time, but still I felt quite safe as there was always staff around.
