  • The location was convientent, the staff was nice and helpful and the actual building was cool. From my whole trip, I slept best here. There were a bunch of fun people, and you can use the kitchen and afterwards hang out in the common area. I recommend it, but bring shorts and a tee to sleep in, its pretty warm!

  • This hostel is very fun and friendly. The kitchen is user friendly and the common room is slightly Medieval in structure, but fun to pass the time in and chat with other lost US citizens.
