+ Die Smoothie Ball zum Frühstück ist lecker und reichhaltig. Die Zimmer sind mit AC versehen, was hilft nach der Hitze in der Stadt wieder runterzukühlen. Es gibt ein privates Badezimmer für Frauen.

- Die Küche war während meines Aufenthaltes leider in Umbau, deswegen gab es außer Frühstück kein Essen und die Kaffeemaschine war auch in Reparatur.

+ I had a fantastic stay at Alma Hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, and well-located place to stay. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready with a smile and great local tips. The hostel itself is clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The rooms are comfortable, with good beds and enough space to relax after a long day. I especially appreciated the attention to cleanliness in both the rooms and common areas. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of Alma Hostel—it’s social without being overwhelming. It’s easy to meet other travelers, whether you're hanging out in the common area or joining activities organized by the hostel. The location is also excellent, with easy access to key attractions, restaurants, and transport options, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. Overall, Alma Hostel offers great value for money with its combination of comfort, cleanliness, and friendly vibes. I would definitely stay here again!

I really liked the hostel. The beds are big. You have a curtain for the bed. Nice A/C! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The showers and toilets were clean. I also liked the location, it was in a quiet road. There is construction next to the hostel for people to know, but I didn't mind.

+ Helpful staff

- The place looks old and aged compared to the photos. I don't think they change the bedsheet and pillowcase. It felt and smell used, and I think there were bed bugs, had bites on my arm and legs.
