Well located hostel, friendly staff
Generally speaking fine. A well designed hostel. A friendly team. Greater attention to detail on the housekeeping side would be good For instance soap dispensers and towels remained empty despite prompts and some kitchen equipment was depleted and defective.

Perfect location. Good facilities. Friendly staff. Could be better in terms of cleanliness, e.g. no soap in toilets, dining room floor covered in food and left for several days etc
