Despite the language barrier, they made sure I had a place to rest and drop off my bags until morning. The dorm rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas provided a cozy atmosphere to relax. The breakfast options were simple but satisfying, and the hostel offered a good selection of DVDs for entertainment.

    The location of the hostel is convenient, with nearby options for alternative accommodations and easy access to public transportation. the shared bathrooms are generally kept clean, and the breakfast, although simple, is sufficient for the price. the staff is friendly and offers helpful advice.
