First Hostel experience
Was my first hostel experience and it was much nicer than i thought it would be. The beds were comfortable and it didnt feel like i was in a room with others, besides hearing someone snore occasionally.

Definitely happy with my stay!
This hostel is phenomenal! Everyone is so kind and the guests were super respectful. It was clean, comfortable and felt very safe (for self and belongings). It was quiet at night and I had no trouble sleeping, especially if you have earplugs in case your roommates come in later than you or get up early. The bathrooms could use a bit more cleaning, but it wasn't bad. Just bring flip flops!
