Our take
This hostel is best suited for budget-conscious travelers who appreciate a social atmosphere and don't mind a lively environment. The pet-friendly policy is a big plus for those traveling with animals, and the outdoor pool offers a welcome respite during warmer months. While it's great for meeting people and exploring the city on foot, those seeking a quiet, secluded stay might find the bar's energy a bit much. It's a solid choice for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking for a fun, central base.
- ✓Take advantage of the central location to walk to nearby attractions like the Museum of Illusions.
- ✓If you're traveling with a pet, this hostel is a great option, but confirm pet policies when booking.
- ✓Enjoy the social scene at the on-site bar, especially if you're looking to meet other travelers.
