City center hostel with all the perks.

This is typical of a HI hostel but raised the bar. Though didn't partake in the free breakfast due to fasting but the place was awesome. Friendly and helpful staff and always ready to assist. Right at the City Center and very close to all forms of transportation. I rate it A+++
