super cute hostel, it was my first time ever in a hostel. the staff is so kind, the hostel is cleaned every day. the only two bad things was the AC making the room hot and the thin mattresses with thin pillows

Only stayed one night and it was fine for this. Facilities were clean, bed was very uncomfortable, hardly any people around/not very social. Location was good. Just a short walk from the station and above a convenience store.
