Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: For a hostel, it is probably the best hostel experience I've had. The staff are lovely, there are many well lit spaces to chill and hang out with others in the hostel. It was cleaned daily, but I think the many friends I made during my stay was the highlight. Location couldn't be more central.
Negative: Some of the furniture in common rooms and lounges could be updated, but otherwise great experience
Summary: Highly recommend
