First time staying in such a place and I honestly can't wait to come back.The guys working were such kind, helpful people and they seemed genuinely curious about everyone's trips (I noticed one even recognized a traveler from before! So nice). The online keys are really cool and the drinks and snacks in the lobby area super convenient .Everything was clean, comfortable and really just what I needed, nothing i didn't :) being able to leave the luggage the next day after check out was a huge perk as well.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
