A really clean, modern, fresh hostel with a very high standard! It felt new and renovated with personal touches, and the dorms were also clean and comfortable. Each bed had a good curtain blocking out light, a lamp and sockets for charging and the sleep was really good. The bathroom was also clean and modern, and the kitchen had everything you need. I had a great stay!

We weren't sure at first about staying here because it was a hostel but I'll say it was probably nicer than a lot of hotels we stayed at and one of the nice additional benefits was being able to use the kitchen. This place was very clean very centrally located and it was quiet
