This was a very convenient option for my most recent work trip.I have never stayed at a Hostel before and was very pleased to see how well kept the property is. Roommates were very nice and understanding because I had an early morning flight so didn't want to disturb anyone's sleep. Felt very secure with entry and access processes set in place as well.
