    Free WiFi was great for scrolling through my social media feed and pretending to be busy. The shops and restaurants nearby were perfect for when I wanted a break from eating the hostel's questionable food.

    Ah, nothing like the sound of construction at 7 am to lull me back to sleep.

    The location near the central bus station and railway station. The owner's friendliness and flexibility, offering a better room and refunding cash for an early breakfast. Shuttle service to the airport with reasonable fare. Comfortable bed and clean-smelling sheets.

    I was pleasantly surprised by my recent stay at Hostel Alex 1. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the central bus station. The caretaker was friendly and accommodating, even waiting for me despite my late arrival. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a much-needed rest after a long journey. I would highly recommend this hostel for its convenient location and welcoming atmosphere.

    The hostel is conveniently located near the central bus and train stations, making it easy to travel around the city. Additionally, it is within walking distance to the historical center of the city. The beds in the hostel were comfortable and provided a quiet and peaceful night's sleep.

    The communication with the staff was difficult due to their limited English skills, which made it challenging to address any concerns or requests.

    The location was mind-blowing, with easy access to the central train and bus stations. The owner provided a jaw-dropping shuttle service to the airport. The check-in process was super smooth thanks to the friendly caretaker. The bed and pillow were incredibly comfortable, and the sheets smelled amazingly clean. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the 24-hour reception ensured a vip check-in/-out experience.
