The location was ideal for exploring the area on foot and accessing transportation options. The exclusive 4-bed room we stayed in was well-organized and had all the necessary amenities. The communal facilities such as the kitchen, laundry, lounge, and dining room were all well-maintained. The cafe across the road at the Community Centre was friendly and a great place to unwind. The hostel also had convenient services like phone charging and reliable wifi. Additionally, the cleanliness of the entire place was superb.
