The hostel and staff were great. The neighborhood one block north of the hostel is a bit scary at night.

Why the individual packets of jam / cream cheese? --You have the big(ish) containers of peanut butter. So many signs posted about reducing waste, and than you serve everything in single serve packets. Doesn't make any sense.
