Wonderful stay! Near everything in city center.
Very clean and comfortable. Each of my family members were able to get their own bunkbed which we all loved a lot. Great location, accessible to everything the city has to offer: food, attractions, travel, tourist sites. Would definitely come here again.

As a solo female traveler I felt super safe and had a great time meeting people and seeing the city. Lots of spaces to hang out by yourself or with a group and the bedroom of 8 was comfortable aswell.

Staff service was phenomenal! They were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived early and they were super nice and accommodated us and let us check in early. They also call the cabs for us whenever needed. The bathrooms were not the cleanest and you had to rent towels. Other than that, everything was great!
