Very nice hostel
This was one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and nice with free coffee, tea, hot chocolate. There were several lounge areas and I especially liked the rooftop deck. Also, great location, just around the corner from Cuba St.

I had an extremely late check in due to travel, and a very early check out, and Belu made sure I got in without trouble. The facilities were great, the bed was really comfortable and the facilities are excellent.
