I loved this hostel. I personally think it was one of the best I have been. The staff was superb. Starting at check-in when Virgine showed me around nicely. Also the other staff (Redd and Ezra) are amazing people who make you feel welcome the moment you enter the hostel. Moreover, the living room and the backyard is a big hangout spot to meet new crowds and build friendships, with for me as a solo traveler is one of the most important things. I enjoyed the stay so much that I extended twice. Thank you so much!

Argentina
Pretty much everything: - The people working in there were amazing and heartwarming. - They have a bar and lounge with pool and ping pong tables! - All 4 levels had their own kitchen. - They made parties at the lower ground and the sound didn’t affect the rooms when it came to sleeping. - Each room had its own bathroom, with housekeepers cleaning it everyday. - Elevators to go to every floor. - Couches were pretty much everywhere and were really comfortable. There was always a place to sit. I had an amazing time. I’m definitely coming back.
