Pleasant stay in the city centre! There was only one female bathroom with showers, but bathroom was equipped with hair dryers. We were in a dorm with 8 beds, but had no problem sleeping because hostel provides free ear plugs.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and felt super safe, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be that the walls were slightly thin, but as long as you bring earplugs its fine.
