Both breakfast and dinner was included, and both were of very nice quality, especially when you consider the price. For breakfast there always were pancakes available (including other stuff). For dinner, we had curries, pastas, burritos and always you had the option to choose vegetarian or with meat. The personnel was very friendly too.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
