The hostel's location is good (it's near the entrance of the old town). The rooftop offers a great view and hosts many social activities. Breakfasts were tasty, although more variety would have been welcome.

The room was quite small for two people. There wasn't much space to put luggage so we had to store it behind the door. This made it difficult to open the door fully. The service on the rooftop was slow. I waited almost 20 minutes before anyone helped us.
