Best hostel I’ve been to. Anyone leaving negative comments needs to remember that this is a budget hostel, not a hotel! I paid $60/night to stay in an all female room: 6 beds (3 bunk beds), only the women staying in my room have the security key card to get in, the room has its own bathroom, shower, fridge/freezer, counter, closet, and small lockers, there’s housekeeping that comes in between check in/out. They even have free coffee/tea and bread with condiments in the morning :)
