Hostel OZZ Nice Hostel Review and Information

Had a really enjoyable experience at this hostel! Rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean, with good sized lockers. Beds all had curtains, lights and a electric plug which was great. Really fun vibe at night. Location was good, close to the main street and it was a nice walk to the old town. - Australian Girl
