The place itself is very well located, but the bunkers are not very solid and are made from light wood (I was on the top one and all night waking up because every time the guest underneath me moved, the whole bed moved too). The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "

This is the cleanest hostel I have stayed at, from the bathrooms to the beds to the kitchen, which made my stay extra comfortable. I also really liked how...
