Nice place
The reception was simply amazing. The owner of the hostel is welcoming and caring. I felt at home, after talking about my insecurities from my first solo trip. I can only recommend this hostel because it is incredible.
The hostel is located right in front of central park, and next to the metro, a very nice location! We had an extremely warm welcome and they were very accommodating for the luggage deposit, but also to advise us of places to visit. The common areas are very good and cozy, and the kitchen is very well equipped. Cleaning is done every day, and the bathrooms are very clean. Go there if you like hostels, you will be very well off!
10/10, lovely staff, great atmosphere, easy to meet people to visit the city and top location! ?
The location is great. A few steps from the metro station. The girl that received me at night was very nice and helpful.
