    Even though the common spaces were big, it got really busy cause we were staying at the same time as a big group. This place seems to be hosting lots of tourist buses.

    Our private room was comfortable. The shared bathroom was clean Commun areas were big, and the kitchen had everything to cook a proper meal.

    The only downside for me was the lack of privacy in the dorms. In many hostels you usually find a curtain or some kind of divider around the beds, but here there wasn’t anything. In a 10-bed dorm this can feel a bit uncomfortable.

    I really enjoyed my stay here. The place has a clean, modern design that feels warm and welcoming at the same time. Everything was spotless, from the bathrooms to the common areas, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The kitchen is large and well equipped, and the dining room opens to a spacious terrace with tables and a smoking corner- a great spot to hang out. But what made everything really special was LENA, the manager. Even though the hostel was fully booked, she ran everything smoothly on her own (didn't see any staff member besides her). She greeted me with a genuine smile and even helped me personally with a health issue- completely out of kindness. Lena is a beautiful person on the inside as much as on the outside :) Highly recommended ❤️

    Parking was a little tight. At one point when I went to fill up on gas I lost my parking spot and had to wait a few hours before someone moved a car and o could legally park again.

    Nice shared showers and kitchen area. The private rooms are good size. Comfortable for two. Shoes are taken off upon entry, put into a basket and carried to your room. There is a limited space shoe rack by the front door. Convenient location. Parking is limited and it is located in a residential neighborhood. The bathrooms were kept very clean.

    No choice of picking bunk beds, especially when travelling with someone. The top bunks felt a bit claustrophobic, personally speaking.

    Great staff, very clean and good amenities.

    70 people only 4 bathrooms that I saw. They all had showers in each bathroom. No separate toilets. I was unable to take a shower but more important trouble finding open toilet in evenings when everyone taking showers.

    They had a vacancy. Few choices of places to stay in area short of tents. The room had a sink. The faculty had a large spacious kitchen. I had a private room.

    The bunk beds were not assigned so my friend and I were split up between an older couple that took the bottom bunks. He snored atrociously and I didn’t sleep at all because he rattled the upper bed. It would not have been bad had my friend and I shared a bunk bed together. We were in a large room with 10 beds total which is a bit much without curtains or any sense of noise control.

    The kitchen, espresso machine, bathrooms
