Central Location and Clean Facilities

The hostel is located centrally near main attractions. The common areas were clean. I especially liked the bar in the basement with its record store. The elevator goes straight from the basement to the guest floors.

There was no air conditioning. They only had ceiling and floor fans available. The noise from the street made it hard to sleep with the windows open.
