The cutest hostel! I loved my stay here, the rooms are comfy and clean. The common areas feel like home and the staff are all so kind and helpful. The neighbourhood looks a little rough but I never felt unsafe!

Was a very lovely hostel, and the four bed dorm was so spacious it was practically its own room. The only downside is it’s 20 minutes away from many of the attractions and uncomfortable to walk around the area at night. Nothing happened, but it does feel uncomfortable.
