The hostel is a little out of the way. The staff were accommodating with an early breakfast when we asked. The rooms were simple and the bathrooms clean. Overall decent value for money.

The hostel was ok. Nothing special. It is cheap so i would say you get what you pay . I would not stay here again . Also they advertise hot water that does not work most of the time and when it does it is SCALDING HOT!!! And there are no lockers in the room.

A little off the beaten path but I really enjoyed my stay there. The facilities are great, the staff amazingly helpful and friendly. The internet is good and so is the breakfast. I wanted a more quiet hostel and that is what I got. Thank you!
