The fun must be up to you. I just need a nice and quiet place for a few days, and that was no problem. Location, I think was also good, you can get transport very easy on Diggers, and for a little money. I think all the staff was exelent, up and down like anybody else, but always helpfull. A little fix up cut do, but maybe not easy with all this people comming and going. I dont mind to come back. Thank you for some good days.

What you get is pretty much what you would expect in a budget hostel. positives: staff are very helpful, area is relatively safe, two public computers with free internet access. negatives; no security lockers, the hostel is really dark

Location is in somewhat safe area bt far away from city center, 15-20 minutes ride from the airport, met great and friendly people there, was fun, the staff are friendly, helpful and fun, the bathroom needs to be cleaned more than once a day i suppose, free internet although there was only one available desktop for it but hey it's for free, great kitchen facilities, great times

I couldntīt to use the free taxi to go to backpacker, like sad in the web site, only to go back to the airport, because they have a problem with the driver and Iīve need to spend 250 rends. But the staff are so fine and the atmosfare inside is really good.

Staff were great and very helpful/accomodating. Hostel was run down, shared bathrooms terrible and sheets not clean from previous guest. Didn't have any problems with security, but our room's door was far from secure should anyone have wanted to break in.....
