Very clean aesthetic hostel! Clean, calm and refreshing. Family friendly with customers of all ages. As a solo traveler, I would’ve enjoyed more group activities (most nights were switch nights, but nobody was ever playing when I was there so not a lot of opportunities to meet other people). However, it is the perfect hostel if you want to do some solo work, read a book, or feel like you are in a top end hotel! I would stay there again, but maybe with a friend to have someone to talk to!
