Very homely hostel, makes you very comfortable. Bill obviously works very hard and cares a lot about providing a good service to all guests. If you are looking for a home away from home where you can be independent, this is your place. I came here after a hectic week or two and it was just what I needed for some R&R.

I had a great time at the hostel. The atmosphere ist friendly and the owner is open-minded and helpful and welcome you friendly. The bus stop is right infront of the hostel and it's easy getting downtown.

The Hostel is very good! There are free computers with wifi, nice TVs, clean toilets, super size beds, breakfast any time. The location is s few meters from a bus stop, the bus brings you to White house, also a subway within 10 minutes walk on foot. There is 7-Eleven in front which is open 24 hours, kebab food place, a few liqueur shops nearby. It is very safety there as in Washington DC, which is absolutely amazing place to visit. Owner Billy is awesome and helps with everything!!!

Fantastic place, a little out of town but if you're happy to get the bus ($1.80) then its perfect on a budget.

For me the hostel is all about Bill, he is the soul of the hostel, he makes the difference. The place is a house, a few rooms 2 bathrooms, everage location, not far but not close either. The guy made us to feel like we were at home. Even i met a great rommate and nothing was missing. I think they must have some lockers or better security. I recommend this place because is very cheap, fairly clean, and the landlord is the best!!! U will feel like u r at home.

Bill, the manager of the hostel, was a great host and went out of his way to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. His passport/student-ID only policy also meant that the other guests were trustworthy and interesting. The hostel itself is a little bit of a walk from the city center, but there is a bus that takes you straight downtown in 5-15 minutes, depending on where you're going. With good facilities, excellent service, and a fair price, I would stay here again.
