Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The rooms were large and clean. I like that there was a bathroom and shower for two units hidden. Our unit was completely full but still no one had to really wait for the bathrooms. Cramped shower but it worked for me, maybe not if you’re really tall. Close to everything and you just walk everywhere. Not too much food choices around but if you walk 10 minutes or so, you are in a good place for it. I would stay again.

I Really Like This Hostel

There is so much good food left behind and marked “free” to future travelers just for the taking. This food is not only In baskets on the counter tops, but marked in refrigerators as well. This is a welcome tide-me-over until one can get to a market in the mean time and a thoughtful gesture as well. Very appreciated.

Everything was great, although I do wish there was a door and not a curtain on the entry way to the female showers. Other than that, it was impeccable service.

Lovely hostel to stay in. Nothing bad to say apart from the fact that the rooms were far too warm! Had trouble sleeping as there was no cool air flow. Air conditioning???
