Absolutely wonderful. The staff was as good as can be; friendly, hospitable, and helpful. At least one person on duty spoke very good English and were able to help with taxi's and tours.
Accommodations were not fancy but clean and nice. Location in City Center cannot be beat; close to the river, the lakes, and to restaurants. The dumpling party on Monday night was great; met new friends, interacted with great hostel staff, and made/ate great dumplings (don't miss if they have one when you are there).
