Security is generally good in these hostels, with lockers often available in dorms. For solo travelers, the games room is a natural meeting point, fostering easy conversations. Public transport, especially the metro, is efficient for getting around. Budget-wise, cooking in a shared kitchen can save money, and many hostels are within walking distance of local eateries.
