“In my opinion, it stands out for its helpful staff and attention to detail; it seems the owner is particularly dedicated to ensuring a pleasant stay. The dorms are well-designed, with comfortable, noise-free beds, and the rooftop terrace offers memorable views of the old city. A solid choice, particularly for solo female travelers seeking a welcoming atmosphere.”
