Generous breakfast and free snacks throughout the day, including coffee, tea, fruits, and infused water. Friendly staff.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the middle of a vibrant food and beverage district. the private rooms offer a peaceful sleep, even when facing the main street. the breakfast is delicious and there is a grocery store nearby for convenience. the garden is a beautiful feature of the property, providing a relaxing atmosphere.

    There were some cleanliness issues reported in the shared room, such as uncleaned puke on one of the walls and a presence of cockroaches.

    I had a great stay at a lovely hostel in a nice area with good restaurants, especially for vegetarians and vegans. the dorms were clean and each bed had a light and curtains for privacy. the breakfast included was simple but tasty, and it was a real bargain. the staff was very accommodating and the old building was nicely decorated. I also enjoyed the pool table and the common area where I could relax after putting my daughter to bed.

    It was a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Cons: No complaints, everything was to my liking.
