Everything here is very cramped and small. There is only one oven that is too small to fit a baking sheet. The common area is very cramped. The dorm rooms are very cramped. The location of this hostel is nice and the cleanliness is not the worst. However, the staff keep remotes to the heater in each room and we spent a few very cold nights because they were not turned on.
