Overall, it was a good experience. Some of the staff were very helpful and were great to interact with. Other staff, weren't as personable. Our private twin was spacious and the lockers were a great size the fan was an asset. The hot water was NOT working, so it was very cold showers. The food was really good 👍🏻 and we liked how there were many places to sit within the hostel. The pool looked great but the weather wasn't permitting a dip!
