Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The walls were extremely thin. I paid for a private room, but I was constantly awakened because it was like sleeping a common area. I could hear full conversations from other rooms, even phone calls, word for word. The bar is seldom staffed. Instead, there is a vending machine that dispenses “almost cold” beer, but it pre‑shakes the cans for you. At this price point, there are much better options in the area. The private rooms share a communal shower, which (in my experience) was only cleaned about every three days. I repeatedly saw the same filth there day after day. The breakfast was okay, say thing each day, they need more tables as they have all this great outdoor seating but almost no tables. Also only one small sick to wash your dishes so you may wait a while is a groups is leaving or someone takes 5 minutes to wash a single plate.. and than washes the sink to get ride of the soap bubbles

The box beds are great, really secure. They also have lots of daily walking tours and activities. The main downside is you need the window open and the street is noisy. This didn’t bother me but if you need quiet, this wouldn’t be it. I loved my stay and would love to go back.

Enjoyed my stay, the hostel is clean and comfortable with good service, the guests are mixed age. The breakfast was ok with limited options. One improvement suggestion is organized hostel activities can be better with more variety of experiences.
