My stay was short but really good! I loved the staff and the terrace. I enjoyed a great view and the sunshine on the rooftop. The breakfast and dinner were a big plus, they totally saved me from cooking!

Probably one of the best hostel vibes I’ve experienced. Great location, within walking distance to many attractions. The train station, light rail and buses are also close. I liked the various daily social activities the hostel provided and the free breakfast. The dining area is also a great way to meet people and is always lively. Bunk beds are quite big ( much bigger than standard) with curtains, charger and lamp.
