    The hostel's location is great , it's close to a bus stop, making it easy to get around the city. the rooms are clean and well, kept, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Excellent atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and great located! The hostel provides nice and neat rooms, spotless bathrooms, and superb wifi in the whole property. The hostel was in the heart of the tourist destination area, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and shops. , the hostel has an open and friendly atmosphere to meet various people, which made it feel like a big family away from home.

    Having stayed in a house just across the street from the main hostel, it would have been better if the house had a stove available, so I could cook breakfast without having to cross the road. However, it was a minor inconvenience and did not take away from an overall enjoyable stay.

    This hotel in the bohemian neighborhood had some delightful surprises. the attention to detail was evident throughout the premises, with old-fashioned furniture that added a rustic charm to the stay. Secondly, the small pool area was well-maintained, despite the water restrictions in the area, providing a refreshing spot to relax. Lastly, the WiFi connection was superb, ensuring easy access to the internet, while the inviting lounge area became my favorite spot to unwind.

    The only area for improvement would be the kitchen's organization and updated cooking equipment.

    The accommodations were basic but provided all the necessities for a comfortable stay. the breakfast provided was delicious and plentiful, and the coffee and tea available 24/7 were a nice touch. the location was also convenient, with plenty of dining options within walking distance. the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant atmosphere.

    The Wi-Fi connection was not very strong, making it difficult to use in certain areas. It was also hard to distinguish who was staff and who was not.

    This hotel has excellent value for money, especially considering its prime location in the bohemian neighborhood of Observatory. The staff at this hotel were incredibly attentive and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The basic amenities provided in the rooms, including ones with up to six beds and private bathrooms, were clean and comfortable. The breakfast options were delicious and provided a great start to the day.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was a fantastic experience and I can't fault anything.
