Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The place is not ideal, but staying there is very cheap and it offers beautiful natural views. The hostel owner is a nice young man, and his parents are extremely friendly.

Negative: The hostel is somewhat far from the city center, but the bus stop is right across from the room. The 9 Arches Train is not far either — just a 40-minute walk."
