This was my first stay in a hostel, and to be perfectly honest - I was nervous. We read that this…read moreplace had pretty good reviews on hostel.com but I had also heard that people are reviewing these based on other hostels, not really against "hotel quality" like my American self was used to. So I pretty much figured it was going to be a gamble. But to my luck...we hit the jackpot with Pension Goiko! It was very clean and had new and modern furniture in the rooms and 2 large bathrooms with shower stalls with intense pressure and hot water (which I heard is rare for hostels). They had 2 rooms (one with 4 beds, the other with 3.). It also included free wifi, cereals and muffins in the morning. My traveling buddies (who have both stayed in numerous hostels) said that this was the nicest hostel they had ever stayed in, and I truly lucked out for my first experience and that I shouldn't expect this kind of quality everywhere. My hostel bar is now set pretty high!

I was amazed! The front desk staff speak a variety of languages, fluently. They are friendly and professional. All rooms are accessible by stairs or elevator. All rooms have 2 bunk beds with USB connections near the bed with electrical connections as well. WIFI is superb! All rooms have air conditioners as well as a secure door that goes to the balcony. The door can either be opened for entrance/exit to the private balcony or locked and only the top of the door opens for air circulation. Linens and towels can be exchanged daily, if you wish. The WC/shower is SO CLEAN and well lit! Hot water is plentiful. The restaurant serves meals all day and into the night with alcohol available. The prices are well below the value. You are a 10 minute walk to the #13 bus stop that will take you to the tourist area, in only 15-20 minutes. The price for the room was noticeably lower than any other hotel and was better than most. You must stop here! A wonderful experience.
