Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: All great. We did a trip and wanted to stay longer, so we had to change our dates of booking in this hostel (twice!) and they were super easy and understanding!
Negative: Bed sheet or mattress didn‘t fit so the sheet went always down (on the other beds too), was a little annoying but all fine!
