Before we start, here are 2 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our hotel: 1 - The LOCATION is simply amazing. We are at the center of everything and you can walk everywhere around town from our place. 2 - Our KING SIZE comfortable Bed. The bed is big/European size with new bed sheets, SUPER COMFY DUVET COVERS, and a great mattress. You will LOVE it once you stay in our hostel.
