Nice clean little inn to come back for. ”

It would be good if they install water heaters for the bathroom, and replace the spoilt hair dryers. If u don't mind the traffic blaring outside for those street facing rooms, then it is a good place to come back for. As a light sleeper, I personally would want to ask for a quieter room.

The hostel was nicely laid out, with a communal kitchen/lounge downstairs, then bathrooms and dorms on the upper levels. Everything was red, black and industrial, which gave a cool vibe. The dorms were broken up into groups of 4 beds which also felt more cosy/private/secure.
