This hostel boasts a spacious and beautifully decorated environment that feels both cozy and charming. I was particularly impressed with the advanced facilities in the shower rooms! The variety of complimentary food and water available is a delightful bonus. The only suggestion I’d make is to consider adding curtains to the beds for a touch of extra privacy. Otherwise, it’s nearly perfect!
