Has everything you need. Beds are comfortable, good washing machines and dryers, plenty of kitchen utensils, and friendly staff. It is quiet enough for you to relax and still has good social environments in the common areas. Really enjoy this hostel and will be here for the next few months.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
