The room was neglected. I saw the 8 point some odd stars and thought this would be a good stay. And the towels for all i knew could've been used with all the hair on it. I'm sorry to review poorly. It's such a nice place esthetically. I just wish such details weren't over looked

I had such a great experience at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and well-kept, and the common area had a really chill vibe—perfect for meeting other travelers. The location was also ideal, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The atmosphere felt safe, social, and comfortable. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in town!
