Atmosphere & Experience

The hostel has a welcoming and friendly vibe, making it easy for travelers to meet like-minded people. Whether you are a solo backpacker, a couple, or a group of friends, the cozy and well-designed spaces allow for both social interaction and privacy.

If you are a larger person or elderly, it’s best to avoid booking the upper bed. The ladder to the top bunk is quite narrow, making it difficult to climb. Be sure to request a lower bed in the comments when booking.
