I found the key system weird. i had to leave my physical key at reception every time i left the place. The rooms were also quite warm! there was a lack of a common area. it was just a few small tables outside the rooms.

Central Location, Good Value

The location was great for exploring. The staff gave a useful tip to use a specific map app. It definitely improved my navigation. The room had comfortable beds, and towels were provided, a nice touch for a hostel. The free lockers were secure.

I found that the key's attached keychain was quite large and cumbersome.
