Breakfast
The hostel’s breakfast gets accolades for being fresh, tasty and abundant with some guests finding the continental breakfast complete and appropriate for various palates.

Dinner
There are multiple dining options inside the hostel itself, such as a buffet that guests describe as delicious.

The availability of lockers under the beds adds a layer of convenience, allowing guests to securely store their belongings.
However, there are some critiques, especially concerning the bunk bed design. Some guests mention difficulties with climbing to the top bunks due to a lack of ladders and handles and a few found the top bunks somewhat uncomfortable. The close proximity of beds in the dormitories and low ceilings between bunk beds are noted as areas that could be improved.

Instances of unattended reception, difficulty in finding staff and being charged for luggage storage left a negative impression on some visitors. Communication barriers were also noted with certain staff members struggling to converse in English, causing occasional frustration.
Overall, while the hostel seems to have a large number of dedicated and friendly team members enhancing guests' experience, inconsistencies in service and staff availability have left some visitors dissatisfied.
Wi-Fi
Accessible
