It is an okay hostel. Not more or less. Everything is in max 30 minutes walking distance. There was no atmosphere at all since the hostel did not offer anything like a pub crawl or other social gatherings.

This hostel has a lot of potential. Unfortunately the wifi was extremely unreliable (mostly didn't work) and the AC was set to 30ºC... it was way too hot inside. Also there's only 2 bathrooms for all the guests. However the atmosphere was great, easy to socialize and meet people, and they had probably the best free breakfast I've ever seen at a hostel.
