The hostel restaurant provided quick meals and early breakfasts. Nightly activities created great opportunities for socializing. THE staff seemed genuinely friendly and always ready to help. I found this very convenient after long days.

hostel activitiesquestionable discountunethical practice
the hostel activities were acceptable for a traveler like me.
the staff asked guests for reviews in exchange for a 15% discount, but the discount was questionable. the discounted rate was higher than previous prices or prices on other sites. this practice is unethical and undermines confidence in the hotel.
