This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets.
Great property and amazing location. Staff is great and understanding.
For future travelers please remember the following,
1) Carry your own Soap else you have to buy it from the hotel.
2) Please remember to drop towels amd bed linen at checkout.
We stayed in a double room on the corner. The view was breathe-taking. The staff was friendly.
What would be nice to have a soap in the room. Other than that everything was perfect!
