“The property strikes a pleasing balance with its well-maintained facilities, an inviting outdoor patio, and food service, although some have noted inconsistencies in cleanliness. Its friendly, helpful staff and proximity to good restaurants are definite assets; however, the restaurant focus might overshadow the hostel experience for some. In my opinion, it's a place with strong positives but worth considering personal preferences.”
