The staff was helpful. Lockers were sufficiently big. The breakfast brightened my day. The waitress was very nice and helpful. You can buy a lock for your things at the reception if needed.
The hostel generally seems dated. The bathroom didn't seem great and had a sewerage smell. I think there is no community kitchen.

Amazing Hostel Experience!

helpful staffconvenient bathroomscentral location
The staff was super helpful and always smiling! I really appreciated the convenience of having two bathrooms in the 8-person room (a real lifesaver!). Plus, its central location made it easy to explore (everything felt nearby).
The shower sprayed water everywhere because of an ineffective shower curtain.
