"This hostel is definitely one of the better ones that have just been renovated. One of the biggest perks is having a shared bathroom but having a private toilet room and private shower room as well as separate men and women bathrooms.

They were extremely helpful in getting us checked in, giving us the wifi pw, etc. The room itself was small but it was to be...
