This hostel is very spacious. The female dorm has a table in the middle and a sizeable balcony. Much more space than any hostel I’ve stayed in. It’s a short walk to the centre and the air con is good. There are lots of nice outside spaces to sit or eat in.

We had an amazing stay in this hostel. The staff is very nice and helpful : the receptionist gave us tips on what to see and visit around the city, helped us book bikes. We were also able to change beds to be closer to each other in the room. The bedrooms and common rooms are cleaned daily. As 2 girls travelling, we felt very confortable and safe staying at this hostel. People we met there were easygoing and we had some really nice times in the kitchen. To sum up : we had a wonderful vacation !
