The kitchen I could spend time early in the morning to make myself a cup of herb tea. Hot water is provided and the herb tea as well. I haven`t experienced a kitchen like that so far in any hostel where you can cook, sit down at a table and have a chat with other people. It is like staying with friends. I spent many nights over the years in this hostel and was never disappointed. So far I always slept well and felt at home.

Nice, clean and lots of space even in a big dorm
Smaller than the other sister hostels so a little quieter depending on what you look for
