Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nice, and importantly for us, quiet hostel. While there was a shared kitchen and bathroom this was not a young party hostel. It was very quiet and very clean. Nothing fancy, but no complaints from us. It's just a few blocks from the main street for restaurants and shops. And we made use of the kitchen for breakfast, lunch and one dinner.
