Rooms were clean and well equipped (lockers, sockets, safe and more). The breakfast was great (but menu is repetitive so if you are thinking about staying there for long, take that into consideration!). The bar had a great atmosphere and good operating hours. Staff were very nice and helpful! It was my first time staying in a hostel and I loved it!
