    During our New Year stay, we had a fantastic experience at the hostel. The brand new rooms were great and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was a nice touch, with a variety of options including fruits, eggs, juice. The two unheated jacuzzis on the roof were a great addition and provided a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

    One downside was the ongoing construction noise during the day, which made it difficult to stay in the hostel. Additionally, the room we stayed in near the kitchen was quite loud early in the morning.

    This hotel in a rather "artsy" area surrounded by restaurants is a great find! The location in Getsmani is perfect for exploring and being right in the city center. The staff is super friendly and attentive, making sure all your needs are met. The rooms are spacious with large storage and private bathrooms on the second floor. The breakfast is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. this hotel offers great value for money and attention to detail.

    No complaints, everything was perfect.

    The value for money was great, with perfect rooms and excellent staff. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the old town. The staff treated me with utmost kindness and were always ready to assist.

    The location was great with lots to see and do nearby. the breakfast was also really good and set us up for the day. the staff was friendly and helpful, always making sure we were okay.

    The rooms were quite small and the noise from outside made it difficult to sleep. We also felt that the hostel was overpriced and lacked facilities , leading us to feel quite disappointed overall.

    The free coffee and water were great, and the staff was friendly. They even gave an extra blanket when I was cold. The location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was delicious and always varied.

    The dormitory was extremely cold, and the AC remote is shared, so it's difficult to control the temperature. However, the staff did give me extra blankets.

    The highlight of my stay at Life Is Good was the exceptional service provided by the hostel staff. They went above and beyond to make me feel at home and comfortable throughout my stay. Whether it was the friendly receptionist or the helpful employees who assisted me with my lock mishap, everyone was attentive and welcoming. The modern and clean rooms, as well as the rooftop jacuzzis, were additional perks that made my experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Life Is Good for its outstanding service and amenities.

    The hostel's location is perfect, just a short walk to the old town. The dorm room is spacious, clean, and comes with convenient amenities like air-con, curtains, and lockers. The staff is friendly and professional, particularly José. The breakfast options are great, and there's always free tea, coffee, and water available.

    Nothing to be said.
