Liked: La ubicación del hostel es excelente, el ambiente muy bueno y tranquilo. La habitación un poco pequeña para tres o cuatro personas, pero por lo demás, una buena elección. Ofrecen un montón de servicios: información sobre excursiones, destinos, atracciones turísticas, máquinas de venta de refrescos y snacks, ordenadores, wifi, lockers para dejar cargando los teléfonos móviles, una habitación exclusiva para dejar las maletas una vez se hace el check out, un bar-restaurante con precios muy razonables y bastante variedad, cocina para hacerse su propia comida,etc.

Disliked: El tamaño de la habitación.

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, ensuite dorm room, quite clean compared to other hostels. Laundry facilities were fine, felt safe and generally well-maintained. Excellent central location, close to everything.

Disliked: Bed was not comfortable and only had a very thin pillow to sleep on, but it's to be expected at a hostel. At lot of noise from the street at night. WiFi not free. Overpriced for a hostel.
