Hot water boiler broke. While it was being fixed, some notice would have been helpful. In fairness, it was fixed within one day.

Bathrooms were not clean to be shared. Fridge was stocked with spoiled food although there was a sign that it will be cleaned out daily. You get what you pay for. Convenient area. Cool if you don’t mind all of that and the hostel set up.

Friendly staff, prime location, well kept rooms, very affordable. If you're traveling light, it's a fantastic option. I stayed four nights for the same price that I would've payed for a single night at any hotel in this area
