The hostel has a different name and the dorm room didn’t look like on the picture. No curtains like on the pictures. No toilet on the same level as my room, it was out of service. No plug to charge my phone at my bed. Really basic hostel.

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friendly. The room is pretty bare bones, but ours was updated and comfortable. Towels and blankets are an extra fee. This isn’t the place to be if you need quiet. That said, you are so close to everything, it is a really good spot!

Really nice staff but the property, mainly the bathrooms, are absolutely disgusting. The worst public bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s also standard to provide towels for free which isn’t the case here.
