“The hostel is in a nice part of town, close to many sights and within walking distance of cafes and shops. It’s also a short hop to the winery, ideal for wine lovers. The dorms are clean and comfy, with curtains, plugs, and lights. Bathrooms are well kept, staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good, the kitchen is usable, and free coffee and tea are a plus. A solid base to explore the capital.”
