The stuff, the common area, and the kitchen with free spaghetti and rice and everything you need to cook! The rooms are clean and the hostel is in the city center, one big grocery down the building, the cheapest restaurant nearby! So far, it is the best hostel I've ever visited. Even though the towel was not in the listing of the property, they gave me one for free. They gave me information on how to enjoy the city and use public transport.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The accomodations were roomy and the open kitchen very well organised. Cereals, milk and tea were for free and there was a small coffeemachine. All the rooms and shared spaces were really clean. This hostel deserves a spot in my top 3 of best hostels I visited.
