Stayed one night - would have stayed longer if we had time. Pros: very well equipped kitchen, friendly staff and super lovely owner (we think), comfy beds and pillows, free city maps (good for locating large supermarkets), nice outdoor terrace, great book exchange Cons: lack of vibe (people just sat on their devices), no fans in room (made it stuffy) or air ventilation from bathrooms (made our room and kitchen stinky when when someone would use it), not enough bathrooms when hostel full

Great hostel. I only stayed here one night so didn’t experience much of an atmosphere. Lots of lovely places to chill and hang out, and the beds were very comfy.

Near a bus stop and a museum. A little Far from the center but always a safe walk. Really clean and the hot shower was great!
