Staff were super friendly especially at night time with the bar that is attached to the hostel! Luckily everyone in my room was great as it seemed to be a quiet hostel with a lot of potential. The chill out areas were great as were the beds, lockers, showers & toilets. Very clean too & the AC was really good.
