Perfectly situated outside the main hustle and bustle. Very clean, comfy beds, good bathroom facilities (although only 1 working sink in ladies dorm was a bit tricky at busy times). Silent closing on the bathroom door would be a good addition, as would disabling the hairdryer after 11pm - no one should be drying their hair at 3am in a shared space!! Overall really lovely though. Recommended.

Clean hostel the woman only dorm felt safe with lockers provided that lock , a main door that locks to the dorms with restrooms in their to use . Right around corner is metro and bus stop and easy to get back to airport or walk to other parts of the city . The hostels property is smaller than some with not a lot of hang out space but ok plus side this seemed to keep the noise outside down
