너무 좋아요. 어반 가든 호스텔 💜

긴 여행을 했어서 숙소의 청결도는 매우 중요했어요. 몇년 전에 이 호스텔을 갔다온 여행광 친구의 추천으로 고민 없이 어반 가든 호스텔을 선택했어요. 15일정도 있었는데 대만족 입니다. 1. 매일 오후 깨끗하게 청소합니다. 2. 정원에서 보내는 예쁜 시간이 행복했어요. 처음 만나는 친구들과 정원에서 재미있게 이야기하며 즐거웠어요. 3. 직원들이 친절하고 좋아요. 늘 배려해주고, 도와줍니다. 4. 메인 스트릿, 볼량시장과 가까워요. 5. 조식이 괜찮아요. 또 포르투를 간다면 여기에 또 가고싶어요. 멋진 오너 줄리앙과 나이스한 데이빗에게 안부를 전합니다.

Really good hostel about 2 blocks from Santa Catarina. Breakfast is available and if you reserve the night before you get a discount. Hammocks in the backyard provide a relaxing and cool spot for after all the walking you would have done while exploring the city. Bathroom inside the rooms was really clean and convenient. Pods for privacy and the availability of locker was all good. Overall good hostel, would likely stay again if price was right.
