I loved staying at this hostel!! The staff and volunteers have made my time there incredibly amazing. The location is really great - very close to the city centre but quiet at night. My bed was comfy and I had everything I needed. We did an amazing tour through the hostel that was of the best experiences of my life. Will definitely miss Bliss Inn!
