The hostel is conveniently located in an area with multiple restaurant options nearby. The facilities were kept new and clean. The chill out area was great and easy to meet people there. I can also see that the hostel has made an effort to improve the comfort of the shared bathrooms. I was slightly concerned seeing some other earlier comments, but the shared bathrooms were quite all right when I was there.
