It is a pretty good hostel, the location is spectacular, the rooms are normal, but the bar is very good because they have many activities during the week and the food is pretty good.

It was a convenient hostel with an elevator and a convenient location for sightseeing. There was no air conditioning, but there were many oil heaters installed so it was warm. There was no hair dryer. There seemed to be a kitchen.

Great location. Didn't use the amenities on site but the bar looked good and plenty of late night food.
Only issue was the beds didn't have dedicated wall plugs or USB ports close by so you have to flight someone for a plug or keep devices away from you if you didn't have a long cord to reach your bed.
Great showers 2 in my room of 8 people, hot and great pressure.

Yes, but it's hard to find. Also, the teenagers on the first floor are a bit hormonal.

The facilities are very good. It's like my own dormitory. I had a great time staying with my friends. The location is very good. It's convenient for travel. There are also coupons. You can store your luggage. I will recommend it to my friends and come again next time.
