Thank you so much Laute (sorry if misspelled) who truly went out of his way to help me get my sweater back after someone accidentally took it, he was so kind and helpful!!! Hostels itself was meh, really loud at night, communal areas are too small and uncomfortable, and no shelf in the showers so my bag got completely soaked on the floor in the corner.

Nice hostel about a 10 min walk from the bus station and about 15 min to shops/restaurants/city centre. Room was good liked the curtains! Not much space to chill outside the room and kitchen/eating area and reception are all kind of the one so a little chaotic. Overall had a good stay though!
