O hostel é bom. O staff é prestativo, o café da manhã muito bom. Os quartos são grandes e possuem camas confortáveis. Porém os banheiros são irritantes, você usa o toilet de um lado e precisa atravessar o andar para encontrar o chuveiro. Às vezes você tem que esperar para lavar a mão. No quarto não existem suportes para roupas, o espaço da luz na cama é pequeno e insuficiente para deixar alguns itens, o que também irrita bastante. A internet funciona bem mas não recomendo o espaço comum para trabalhar pois as cadeiras são horríveis para passar muito tempo. A hospedagem vale pelo custo benefício, metrô por perto, restaurantes, supermercados, drogaria mas por um curto tempo.

This is my first solo trip since precovid and staying with the friendly staff and travellers was a great start! Thank you. The location is super; I got to a play at the nearby theatre! A bonus! By the way, If you find a pair of black socketts near BO2 bed L could you please hold them till my return on the 24th? 😀
