I spent around 5 weeks at the hostel and it was a good experience. The hostel is very central, and the tasks are easy, well-organized, and clearly explained. I met amazing people and really enjoyed the city. I recommend it!

The hostel is very central, so a great location for people wanting to go on day trips on their off days, which is also what most of the guests do over there. The hours are fair and well distributed, and the work is overall quite easy. I've met some really nice people, but it's not a very “social” hostel, as the pace is chilled, it's ideal if you're looking for a quieter time and a place to stay between exploring adventures.
