Still new to staying at Hostels but places like these definitely make me feel it's not so bad to share a room with strangers. Every thing was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The area is right around the corner to a main busy street but somehow it was tucked away and quiet. Easy to walk to public transportation. Would definitely not mind staying here again.
