Perfect location, and closer to the next all the nice well-known buildings, shops, bars and places to eat and bus/train/transport, if you are also thinking of traveling a little out of town. The people who work there are incredibly nice and helpful. Good food and drinks. Clean beds - very nice and pleasant place. Big enough locker for a carry-on suitcase, perfect size. Many bathrooms, so always available to shower and go to the toilet if your first bathroom is full. If it's your first time or you're afraid of hostels, this is the perfect place to go, nice people who also stay overnight, kind workers and cool events, very safe, easy place and easy good help.
