PTW Attracts Genuinely Friendly Sociable People

I initially had reservations about this hostel. I had arrived late from a very long flight, manoeuvring my way through Chinatown with a heavy bag, tired, finally having to climb 4 flights of stairs, to find a very small hostel, absolutely packed with no privacy whatsoever. HOWEVER, the next day I sat down for the free PBJ sandwiches and coffee and immediately started conversations with solo travellers from all over the world. The staff are so friendly and make such a huge effort to make you feel welcome.
