Everything. The whole hostel is superclean, the beds (6 mixed dorm) are spacious and comfy, you can have privacy if you want with curtains. The room has a quiet and well-working AC/heater. The bathroom smells good and is clean. The staff is helpful and kind. The outside patio is light and spacious, you have games, cards, and sofas to enjoy your stay. The inside patio is quiet, perfect to get some work done on your laptop. The guests are quiet and respectful, and there is a soda automate with a price of 1,50! I loved it. You have all-day access to filtered water too.

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.
