I had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had in a hostel and maybe one of the best in any hotel as well. The amenities were great as was the staff. The layout of the hostile was well thought out and there were plenty of plugs and outlets and storage spaces everywhere. I would highly recommend this place and I will likely stay there again.
