This was a relaxed, enjoyable hostel stay. As others have mentioned, it’s located a bit outside the historic center, which gives the neighborhood a more local and less touristy feel. The overall atmosphere was laid-back, and most of the guests skewed a bit older. The staff were kind and friendly, though communication between team members could be improved. It was also often difficult to find someone at reception when assistance was needed.
