The hostel is situated in the charming old town area, offering easy access to local attractions like St. Thomas Church and markets just a short walk away. My dorm was spacious and well-arranged, with a convenient private washroom. However, I had a rather unpleasant experience with the breakfast arrangements, which left much to be desired regarding hygiene. Overall, it’s a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly stay with great access to the city.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel, located in the heart of the old town. It's a short walk from public transport, and major attractions are just a stone's throw away. The rooms were spacious and tidy, and I appreciated the well-equipped common kitchen. However, the atmosphere felt a bit less engaging due to the spacious dining area where people tended to isolate at their tables. Overall, excellent value for money with friendly service!

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The rooms are incredibly spacious and clean, which was a big plus. However, the noise levels were quite high, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The location is convenient for dining and sightseeing, but the customer service left much to be desired. Overall, it was decent for the price, but I would be cautious about the noise and service aspects.

The hostel is in a great location, close to the old town and popular attractions like the market and St. Thomas Church. The rooms are spacious and equipped with private washrooms for convenience. I appreciated the well-equipped common kitchen, but the overall atmosphere felt a bit lacking compared to smaller hostels. Noise was a concern due to the hard surfaces and creaky beds, which may not be ideal for light sleepers.
