Both of the hostels had large courtyards, this one has an enclosed courtyard that is the hostels designated quiet zone, it is a large open plan area with bean bags all over the floor, I can picture myself relaxing with a book or on my laptop one morning, afternoon or evening. The hostel is actually quite a beautiful building, from the outside its quite plain, in fact its very plain but from the inside its a whole different story. It has velvet drapes at each of the doorways, a long bar with a no-smoking zone (yippee), all in all its a very elaborate place, a good blend of modern and classical. Talking about classical, for some reason there is a painting of Mozart and Beethoven on some windows, no idea why and they look quite scary but what they hey, why not. The bar is much more spacious in comparison to the last place, it is easy to just sit at the bar and read or drink or talk or whatever one does when sitting at a bar.
