My first time ever being in a hostel. Great experience would definitely try it again. Very nice they answered my messages before arrival. I was in a room of six. Very clean and you have your own personal space. definitely recommend earplugs. also there was construction next to the building. things i would recommend taking would be towel, sandals and lock.
Check in was easy, there is a common area with a kitchen u can prepare and store your food, and meet other guests.
Other great thing is if you arrive a couple hours earlier or check out and still have hours to see the city, they have lockers in the lobby where u can store your things. Just have to ask the receptionist for a card for the lockers.
