Super hostel

Super Hostel, genre 'capsule' avec des dortoirs de lits doubles assez minimalistes mais confortables. Tout est neuf, une fois couché on n'entend pas le bruit dans le couloir. Grande cuisine super pratique à l'étage et toute équipée. Nous sommes restés une deuxième nuit!

Ottimo ostello di recente apertura, quindi super organizzato e con tutto il necessario. Camerate da 8 letti matrimoniali (16 persone totali possono starci, ma tendono a distribuire gli ospiti nelle varie stanze se c’è meno gente). Cucina grande e con quasi tutto il necessario per cucinare, tra cui anche forni (con carta da forno), macchina per caffè americano, microonde, bollitore, stoviglie e utensili vari… insomma, tanta roba. Bagni spaziosi (docce e wc in stanze separate) e ben tenuti. Staff disponibile e cordiale. Super consigliato e sicuramente da ritornarci
