Great hostel, not really a communal hang out space but great for laundry and using as a base camp for the national park.

Super hostel! Really enjoyed my stay here. Met some nice people and the staff is great! It feels like a very home-y place since it’s quite a small hostel and it’s easy to get social as a solo traveller. Would recommend and definitely stay again!

Excellent, smaller hostel if you don't mind some noisy nights. Super friendly and helpful staff. Very cheap laundry (free washer, $2 dryer). The kitchen had plenty of room for food storage both in the pantry and the fridge, although there was only one large table for eating in there which filled up quickly. The hostel is next to a bar and you could hear music and people singing from Thurs-Sat but it was nothing earplugs couldn't sufficiently block out. Very affordable and great location.
