The hostel had a nice courtyard and is in a good location. The breakfast included was nice! Staff were helpful - the vibes weren’t the most social though. Seemed fairly clean - but setting up your sheets and cleaning them up wasn’t the best. Also not sure if they wash the big blanket given between visitors…yuck! Overall - it’s loud at night due to street traffic and music but not a horrible experience!
