"The hostel staff was nice and the beds were really comfy! They have a bar and free happy hour at 18 every night, which was generous. Location is great, and amenities are good. Only slight negative was the very smelly dudes in our shared dorm room - would definitely have needed some air freshener in there! 😷👣"
