Good for a quick one night trip.
Bring shoes for the shared showers and ear plugs. It kind of feels like a college dorm. Lots of young people. Good for a one night trip, but definitely not for those who want more privacy.

I have NEVER been in a hostel before. I saw the movie Hostel and ever since then I had a stigma around them. I went to this place and honestly really amazing. People from all over, it was always busy at the times I was awake (not sure about anything past midnight and before 6) and there were always people so I felt super safe. I felt comfortable in the bed they were super clean. I don’t even like staying in places where high turnover for beds just because of dirtiness usually and bugs but this one was nicely setup clean staff was freaking fantastic.

Everything clean and well organized, they encourage the socializing of the guests and offer a lot of activities to do with them for free, besides a cafeteria with various options, vending machines, laundry and shared kitchen. Got the shared room and everyone was polite. The only con is the only one elevator for all the building, can took a while.

Great location. The staff was very friendly, and the food service was great. The kitchen was spotless and had so much space for everyone. However, the washrooms were often low on paper towels.
