The hostel was almost too nice. Walking through the entrance leads you into a huge, beautiful atrium with a very helpful receptionist located at the end. Every one of my needs was met by the very helpful staff, and the 5 euro breakfast was pretty decent. The rooms were nice and the bathrooms clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the value and the hostel. Missing, however, was that characteristic hostel feel, where you go down into a lobby filled with dirtbags and backpackers unsure of the last time they even saw a bar of soap, the weird pieces of art hanging around the place that the owner's neighbor's cousin did on the side, and that nagging fear that maybe someone has cracked open your locker in the night and took every single euro to your name. Whether the absence of these things is a good or a bad thing is up to you ;)
