Great location, wonderful rooftop view, community kitchen was a huge plus. Our room was very quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. The common space was cleaned well daily. The bunk beds have curtains - great for giving our teens privacy while on their devices and we were resting. This was our family’s first stay at a hostel and I would love to stay here again. I also liked the history lessons around the property.
