+ Friendly, well informed, easy - Pool table was free!
− Always hard to share space with others- bunk mates didn’t understand you don’t take calls in the middle of the night while others are sleeping, etc.

+ One of the best hostels in terms of price and location! It offers great value for money, with convenient access to nearby attractions, restaurants, shops, and public transportation. It's an excellent option for travelers looking for affordable accommodation without compromising on location.
− Although the hostel is cozy, the beds in the mixed dorms could offer more privacy. The lockers were also the smallest compared to all the other hostels I stayed in, making it difficult to store my belongings. Since the hostel has three floors, having an elevator, even a small one, would make the stay much more comfortable.

+ We didn't have breakfast. We tried the nearby cafes instead and really enjoyed the food on offer.
− It would be great to offer free padlocks for the dorm lockers. It wasn't explained to us that we could use the kitchen facilities when we checked in at reception - that would have been useful to know.
