This was my second time staying at Salty. Perfect cleanliness, friendly staff, great facilities, and a great place to meet people – as expected! What I love about this place is that they’ve thought through all those little details that can make staying at a hostel annoying. For instance, the beds in the dorms are quite privacy-friendly, as opposed to many other hostels, and they’re actually comfortable. You get a huge locker that you can lock with a wristband, they provide you with earplugs, that kind of stuff. They’re small things, but they really make the difference in terms of comfort.
