TifanyFranceNot worth the price
Stayed here and unfortunately can't recommend it. The shared toilets were not cleaned properly, and the mixed dormitory room had no storage at all, nowhere to put your things, no lights. The beds were poor quality…
AndresColombiaThe space and variety of options to share with the housemates
The roommates with bad behavior can use your bed when you don't be in the room and stay there all the night

The receptionist and the owner is incredibly amazing and very caring, friendly. Really clean hostel and comfortable. Location is great and has safe parking space out on the street.
