The staff of this hostel were AMAZING!! The location of this place was incredible being right in the old town. The hostel made it so easy to make friends by hosting events like sangria night for all of us staying there. I also think this was by far the nicest hostel I’ve stayed in with the dorms having curtains and locked drawers under each bed, and private bathrooms.
