My stay at the hostel was an overall pleasant experience. The location was excellent, with major attractions within walking distance, but the language barrier with one staff member posed some communication challenges. The room with a shared bathroom was basic but clean, and the service staff were well-trained to provide a high level of service. However, the absence of isolation in the room lowered its comfort level slightly.

The hostel is a gem with amazing facilities, a great ambiance, and right by all the music, although it's worth noting that it has shared bathrooms. The service is top-notch with staff trained to provide the best possible assistance, including a super polite team, even though language barriers may arise.
