Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at So Young, I was pleasantly surprised by the balance of affordability and comfort that the hostel offers. Situated conveniently near the bus station and the heart of old town, it presents a superb location for exploring local attractions. The facilities include thoughtfully designed bunk curtains for added privacy, while numerous shower options-both female-only and coed-enhance the experience. The rooftop terrace was a charming spot for lounging, and the shared kitchen allowed for easy meal preparation after my daily adventures. What truly sets So Young apart is its dedicated staff. Their willingness to assist, from providing ironing facilities to recommending dining options, reflects their commitment to guest satisfaction. The added perks of free Wi-Fi and a soundproofed environment ensure a relaxing stay. In today's travel landscape, where value is paramount, So Young stands out as a budget-friendly choice without compromising on essential comforts-a wise option for any discerning traveler.
