I stayed in a dorm in this amazing hostel. My bed was comfortable and the room cozy. We had a private bathroom in our room and they had the room cleaned daily. There is a common area that welcomed me, i really felt as if i was home. People coming and going but always down for a nice chat! Max really welcoming and fun and the volunteers super friendly. The food was amazing and really yummy. And the coffee, well, just come and try it, trust me! I loved this place. Coming back definitely!!
