Overall it was fine. I don’t think the hostel deserves 9 stars. Location was great, the staff was nice, guests were great, and rooms were okay-there were a few moldy areas in the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was one of the worst kitchens I have been too but it works. However people were very much stealing people’s food that was clearly labelled. It happens. If you do stay here, I would not recommend staying here for more than one night. It is worth staying here only for the location.

Fantastic location, everything you need just steps from the hostel. Staff are easygoing and helpful. Stayed in the dorm and found it to be good+ It’s a shared washroom but I didn’t find it a hassle to get my turn. Everyone was respectful with their usage. I’m 55 & don’t usually do hostel accommodation...I decided to give it a try based on the location, a recommendation and having a kitchen to prepare my own food. It was a good move! Stayed 14 days and I’d book again in a heartbeat💓Go for it👌🏻
