Excellent hostel with a great location, stunning outdoor restaurant views, exceptionally clean and private shared bathro

Liked:I had a great stay at this hostel. The location is excellent and convenient for exploring the area. One of the highlights was the on-site restaurant, which has amazing outdoor seating with beautiful views. The shared bathrooms were exceptionally well maintained and cleaned every four hours. There were also plenty of shower and toilet cubicles, each offering good privacy with fully enclosed stalls, unlike the gaps commonly found in many North American public restrooms. I also appreciated the water refill station, which made it easy to stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste. Most importantly, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Overall, this hostel offers great value, cleanliness, and comfort, and I would happily stay here again.

Disliked:bathroom cleaning does not follow a fixed schedule, so the entire bathroom may be closed without notice, which can be inconvenient if you’re in a hurry or have a tour or appointment to catch.

Disliked:The bed is not clean.. There were some short hair on the bed sheets. I think the bed spring is too old, and it was not comfortable. It is not worth it..
