This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It has a huge seating area downstairs that is really nice. It has a clean kitchen and the best bathrooms of any hostel I have been in. I was worried after reading some reviews about the area. It's actually really nice, with loads of eateries, nice restaurants, cafes, ice cream shops, vintage shops. I'm a single woman travelling alone and felt completely safe.
It is about half hour walk from the main area of the city, so if the hostel put up directions of how to get to union station/ bus stations on their notice board, that would be really helpful.
