It is situated in an area with locals, meaning that cheap food is available close by. It's about a 20-25 minute walk to the cathedral and centre, but there is a metro station almost next to the front door. The hostel is basic with small rooms, but is adequate as a base for sleeping, and the staff are very enthusiastic about giving you tips and information - when they are there. There is a kitchen where you can use a hob, microwave, grill and fridge, and an area with dining tables. Pots and pans are available too. The bathroom is shared between about 6 rooms as some have en-suite, and there is an extra toilet as well as sinks in the rooms. The bathroom was not particularly clean but the shower worked well. Towels are provided, as is a hairdryer, but no soaps. The rooms are rather hot, which made it hard to sleep sometimes, but there is a fan to try and ease this somewhat, semi-sucessfully. There is a computer which you can use, as well as free wifi throughout. It was also relatively quiet, though this was down to pleasant guests rather than door thickness. It was used by a mixture of families and young people, though as rooms sleep 2-3, you do not get big rowdy groups. For the price, it was well located and I really valued the wifi, kitchen and help, but it could have been cleaner and cooler. Tip: once you have made your booking, confirm with them the sort of room you have booked (twin or double).
