WOW. My first time in a Hostel and I am so impressed! I stayed in an all girls dorm and it was like having a girls night sleepover every night (I’m a chatty Kathy and love connecting with people). GREAT location and I bought a bike pass to get around the city. Easy check in and they have a small shop wall with items if you forget anything. HOT showers and massage level pressure. Didn’t try any food but the bar had a good selection and price. Staff is very friendly and prompt with requests.
