This is one of the most comfortable hostels I have ever stayed at. There is a lot of room next to your bed to tidy your bags. The bed is really comfortable and the bathroom is very clean.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
