It was based in such a good area very tourist comfortable. I had a lower cube room, which I thought wouldn’t be good but it was actually very comfortable and cool. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay and were said to leave. The lights were great and many charging ports. My only complaint is that I would often get too warm during the night but I prefer a cold room anyways. But just take the duvet off and it was completely fine! The shutter on the side of the room one was broken but we worked out a way to balance it and it was fine! The toilets had everything you needed. Always a shower free, clean towels, hairdryer and shampoo and body wash. We were very happy here and I’d definitely suggest it! :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
