Mixed feelings This is by far the most luxurious hostel I have ever stayed in. In many ways it is more of an hotel in which many of the rooms are shared. The place looks spacious and clean and has a feel of an hotel. A huge plus is the location. It can't be any more central than this. A breakfast is included in the price. It is in a big dining room, and is much closer to hotel breakfast than to a hostel one. This is by far the most expensive hostel I have stayed in, but if you take into the account the breakfast and the location, the price seems very fair. The downside is that the public is not of the typical backpacker type at all and they are not there to socialize. If you are looking for a nice place to stay, which is centrally located, this one is for you. If you are looking to socialize at the hostel, go elsewhere. (At least this is how it was in the 3 days I was there.) Now to the big issue I experienced. On the second day out of my 3-day stay, a few hours after breakfast, I started feeling sick. It seems I ate something really bad. I don't know for sure where it happened, but it was a long time since I ate anything anywhere else, so the hostel breakfast is the prime suspect. (I don't think you will suddenly want to throw up a bad meal you ate 18 hours ago.) I was back to normal 2 days later, but this was not an experience I enjoyed at all. — Anonymous , Israel (2011-05-05)
