Me senti en casa

Pros: From the moment I arrived, I truly felt at home. I was treated like family, with genuine warmth and care that touched my heart. The breakfast was delicious, the room was very clean, and the bathroom was spotless. Everyone was always attentive, kind, and ready to help with a smile. Thank you so much for making my stay so special. I will come back every time it is possible — this place will always feel like home to me

Pros: The staff make this place, all of them were super friendly and helpful, welcomed everyone who stayed there and tried to make them part of the family. They arrange events most nights and will give good suggestions on places to explore and eat. Included breakfast is pretty good, not every hostel offers that so it's a decent bonus to save some money. There's also a bar where you can hang out and meet people in the evening. Location is great, right behind the Blue Mosque.

Cons: The private bedrooms need updating and renovating. A few little things could improve them a lot. For example, simply having a couple of places to at least hang a towel in them, a hook on the door or something? As it was I had to leave the towel in the bedroom which is kind of annoying, the only place to hang it was the opposite side of the room to the bathroom! Also, the bulb in my room had a tendency to flicker which was annoying, and the bedside light didn't work.
