    The location is great, the hostel itself looks nice, well decorated, spacious, the bed is comfortable, there is an area where you can work online, there is live music and a restaurant if you like that. You can leave your bags before or after the check-in/out times and use the common areas/bathroom for free.

    Basic Hotel, clean, good shower, missing a safe in the room and a long mirror. Great location, however, bar opposite is a little noisy.
