Kulukis Downtown Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"There were 3 in my party and the room consisted of a large, double bed and a chair/single bed conversion. While we were only there one night, it fulfilled every need we had. The room was larger than anticipated and proved plenty of storage space for our belongings. The only issue we had was that when converting the chair to bed, we were missing a cushion. This did make for an "uneven" night of sleeping. The rest of the property was clean and inviting. The bathrooms having heated floors was a wonderful touch! Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to others."
