"My wife and I only needed a room to rest before our 2:30AM flight. Facilities are good. Plenty of excellent common spaces. We chose this hostel for its historical location. The building itself and the services and amenities are great. Too bad the overall surrounding does not live up to its UNESCO designation in my opinion."
