Clean room, bathrooms cleaned regularly throughout the day, basic gym but a nice extra for a hostel, rooftop space has a grey view of the city and a good place to relax.

This is not any hostel, I have stayed at some nice places and the room I had would compete with many 5 star hotels. It’s great as a solo traveller. Only thing that would make it better would be if it had a bar
