My stay at the hostel's was a perfect first Worldpackers experience. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed into the hostel's warm and family-like atmosphere. The hostel's vibe makes it easy to connect with both staff and other travellers. Both receptionists were incredibly kind, friendly and always willing to help. Whenever I had a question or needed support, there was always someone available to ask. One of the things I appreciated most was the opportunity to experience how a hostel operates behind the scenes.
