All the pros of a hostel - safe, superb vibe, people from all over the world, lots of activities and spaces to hang out. Great conversations. Big bathroom stalls. Great location to take a break from all the tourist areas. Cons: The room was very cold. You need a plank under the mattress so that the bed doesn't slop so much. Lockers need a rod with a hanger or two because you are living out of a suitcase on the floor is quite literal here. Our room floor was not clean.
