Super social hostel in the heart of Getsemani. “Micro rooms” are great value for money and surprisingly spacious. Wifi is strong too. Minor criticisms include the painful check-in process - I’ve opened bank accounts quicker - and the prices for drinks are way too high for a hostel. Fortunately all the cool street bars are right on your doorstep so this wasn’t an issue for us. Would recommend!
