Haven’t been to a hostel this clean. The toilet looks like a hotel. I’d highly recommend staying here. Free towels to use, unlike other hostels where you have to pay €2. Walkable distance to attractions.

This property was definitely the biggest hostel I’ve ever stayed in, and it showed. Not necessarily a bad thing! Just full of people. The amenities were very nice, being a restaurant and a few bars inside the property. It did take over an hour to check in though, as it was so busy. The bathrooms inside the shared rooms were not very clean, and I was holding my breath every time I went in. Other than that, an absolutely beautiful hostel in a good part of town and definitely a deal for the price.
