This was a wonderful experience. The staff was very kind and even allowed us to check in early, though we only came early to ask about bag storage. The bar was a great addition and the breakfast, for 10€ each, was fantastic! Highly recommended. We are a family of five with two teenagers and a 5 year old.

The hostel was central and had multiple amenities, i.e. metro, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. and tourist attractions within walking distance. Note that they do not have a kitchen or fridge for you to cook or store food/drinks. Their AC was not helpful or not working properly as it was unbearably hot in the rooms. Overall, this was a decent hostel that offered different activities to meet and socialize with other guests.
