The issue that we had with this hostel is that we didn't receive any information on accessing the hostel once we arrived. We had to call to get a code and that took a while. Once we got in then we had to find our room. This wasn't easy as there are no clear directions in the hostel on how to find each space. Once we were in, we were fine. The room size was fine and the bathrooms clean.
