Positive points: The location is good
Negative points: Maybe the bed makes too much sound.
Review: I love the location of this hostel. It’s quite challenging to go here (uphill) but the neighborhood is full of famous restaurants.
Positive points: The only thing is it is nearby bus and metro stations.
Negative points: The hostel practically on the hill. It is hard to walk uphill with your luggage. Also when you enter the hotel there is more stairs the corridor is soo narrow that you barely go upstairs with your luggage. Bed was covered by plastic and 1 durty non ironed sheet. shared toilet without lock, bathroom without hanger or shelf.

Positive points: it was right by a metro station and the neighborhood hat quite a few restaurant options and felt safe

Positive points: price and location
