Hostel offered good common areas, free breakfast, free washing facilities. Located in a very lovely area, close to main streets and transport. My only issue was our family room was next door to the men’s toilet where the door banged loudly shut every time it was opened/closed, the air vent ran loudly 24hrs and you could hear the toilets flushing and hand dryer being used. Light streamed in from outdoor courtyard so nota dark room. Avoid room #106 unless you are a very heavy sleeper.
