the place was clean, quiet, and super convenient, right in the heart of downtown. it's what you would expect from a hostel: everyone was kind but minded their own businesses and did their part to keep the communal kitchen tidy. I especially enjoyed the free breakfast AND free dinner for guests every night, great for travellers on a budget. I walked everywhere I needed to go for the weekend and was always greeted with a smile when I returned

Staff were nice and helpful. But I felt very unsafe in the area that the hostel is in, did not want to walk down the street by myself even in the day time. Would not recommend as a solo female traveller.
