I like this hostel. It’s clean, it’s bright and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a private room and felt like there wasn’t a social vibe in the hostel. Felt more like a hotel imo. I also didn’t feel 100% walking down the part of the street that leads to the hostel at night as it’s a little further away from the center.
