Great hostel with a homey feel. I loved the common area and the DIY laundry facilities. The bunk beds are sturdy and the mattresses are quite thick for a hostel. Even though it's a budget stay, they keep the shared bathrooms clean. Just a heads up: there’s no elevator, so be prepared to climb some stairs!
