    Very nice, beautiful, clean hostel. The staff is very welcoming. The place is safe with staff checking access cards because it's a busy location surrounded by bars The towel is included which is rare for an hostel.

    Really good location, the hostel felt cared for, and the curtains of the beds gave a bit of privacy.
