“This property stands out for its prime location near the Tribunal metro station, making city exploration straightforward. The service is attentive, but the value proposition of the private rooms, while comfortable, may not align with typical hostel expectations. I'd say the vibrant neighborhood, full of shops and eateries, amplifies the experience beyond the accommodation itself.”
