As someone who has stayed in hostels in busy cities abroad…this one is super duper clean and safe inside. Such a cool place to relax within the locked confines of the walls. No crazy loud people but friendly ones when I stayed. Bathrooms and showers were always available and not crowded. This was on a weekday in late May btw. No air but plenary cool. Beds are probably a tad small for the average person. And a little squeaky. Think 2 bunk beds in 1 area. But clean sheets and blankets/ plugs/personal light and Wi-Fi. I’d recommend this to anyone
