Good cheap option, but lack of cleaning. The hostel is also commonly frequented by Israelis groups, some of which don’t like to follow rules (lot of smoking forbidden substances in the hotel, while forbidden)

Det første værelse vi fik stank af røg, men vi fik med det samme et andet og større værelse. Der er et lille køkken ovenpå og god udsigt. Det ligger godt placeret midt i det hele.
