It was a brief overnight stay but I was impressed with the cleanliness and efficiency of the hostel. It’s always nice to be greeted by friendly staff and they were wonderful!

Clean facilities with a fun vibe, and excellent email communications re check-in details. My only complaint was the super noisy door and keypad to the coed sleeping quarters (room 50). If you've a bunk near the door, the frequent opening and closing of the door is jarring when trying to sleep. The optional breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Thumbs-up to SKÚBB ice-cream shop that's just across the street.
