A cozy hotel with spacious rooms and convenient access to hostel facilities. The separate twin beds are a plus, but some may miss having a double bed. The electronic card system adds a modern touch, though the room could use more amenities. The price offers good value for those wanting a practical stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hostel! The convenience of having the electronic card to access all the facilities made my experience so smooth. The fully equipped kitchen in my room was a game-changer, and having a private bathroom was a great touch. The only downside was the slightly higher price compared to other options nearby, but it was worth every cent for the convenience and comfort.
