Tomi is the GOAT! I had stayed in a different hostel for one night and wasn’t feeling the vibe and switched here and that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Everyone is so kind and Tomi is an INCREDIBLE HOST. Breakfast is lovely and he will help you out with anything you need. He made my pasta for me one night and hung my laundry to dry for me so I could enjoy my day. Great hostel. If you are graced with the opportunity to STAY HERE!! Also great location.
