  Disliked: There is a restaurant underneath the hostel that is extremely noisy and it carries through the floorboards. We couldn’t sleep until they closed the restaurant every night. Because the floors are old wood they are very noisy and you can hear/feel the foot steps in every room.

  Liked: Location is great and the hostel is very clean. Staff was kind and friendly. It feels very safe for solo travelers, everyone has their own locker in the room and rooms can only be opened with a card. Also I liked the fact that there are separate rooms for men and woman.

  Disliked: Bunk bed was shaking and making noise at the smallest movement which made it harder to sleep unfortunately..
