Amazing place, both the city and the hostel. The owner Festin is a wealth of knowledge and extremely helpful and easy going. The location is perfect and easy to reach everything walking (especially the beach). The hostel seems to attract lots of interesting people and the vibe is very welcoming (the inexpensive beer helps too). A+++++

Good hostel, good pub crawl at night, helped meet other travelers. Very close to the night market so you can go get dinner at night, plus all the bars/pubs are also easy access.

Great facilities and very helpful/knowledgeable receptionist. Although not in the inner city, doesn't matter as everything is walking distance and there is a night market for tasty food available around the block. The rooms have a good bed and plenty of bathrooms/showers.

Loved this hostel and location, the bed was the best on my 2 week trip through Laos, should have stayed longer! Ben was super helpful and the breakfast was awesome. The location is a bit far from things like the night market (but still walking distance), but makes up for it when you can return in 2 minutes from the Utopia bar.

EXCELLENT hostel! The girl at the reception was amazing, so helpful and seemed to be available 24/7 (not sure when she sleeps!?). Highly recommend this place as it was a great place to hang out and the pool/bar area are good for meeting other travelers. The vibe here made me extend my 2 night stay to 3 nights and again to 4 nights. I actually would have stayed longer, but had to move on eventually. Do the tubing with them, and the suggested zipline/kayak/water cave is not to be missed!

Had an excellent time here, the staff was great. The girl at the reception was an expert at guessing what you needed before even asking, and was organized to suggest things like transfers, sim card, or tours. Wish the lockers were better, and the bathroom area needs an update, but overall great atmosphere and would return again without a doubt..

Great Facilities, loved the rooms and the place. However, the reception seemed to be always empty so if you need info look elsewhere; even for check out after waiting 10-15 minutes, and after no one there, I just left key cards on the desk as I needed to leave. However, the location is excellent and you can get dropped off the airport shuttle, and close to the bus station for moving on to the next place. Would return again.

Great location. Its a bit of a weird dynamic with a long term people living there vs a regular tourist. There are too few lockers, and all have been taken over so you might not find a place to lock up your stuff. Over all though, I'd recommend it.

This is one of those hostel experiences that others will be judged on: the location was excellent, the room and facilities comfortable, and the staff and other travelers amazing. The terrace was a cool place to hang out, and the nightly bar crawl was a good place to start out and unwind with the others. THere was something special about the place, so if back in Tel Aviv, no question I'd return here!

Close to the ruins, the bike provided was very helpful. The staff was nice and helped group people with similar intentions to save money on tours. A suggestion would be to put a couch in the dining room (because Anuradhapura is hot and there are good fans in the dining room) and that could be a good hang out spot.

Great location, decent place to sleep (if you can deal with the music on the streets, but that's what comes with being in the location they are in). It could have used more bathrooms/showers as they seemed to always be in use when I was there. Don't know if its always the case, but when I was there most of the people skewed to be very young travelers, many with drinking/drug problems already. The staff was very disengaged compared to other hostels I've been at.

I am so sorry to hear that you did not find our staff welcoming and involved. Did you join them on any of our planned nightly events? Or for a coffee in the kitchen at breakfast? Glad you enjoyed our central location and hopefully it made exploring San Diego a little easier. Did you by chance take advantage of our discounted zoo tickets? Michelle

I liked the hostel, but one thing that was really annoying was the lack of outlets in the room. There were 8 beds, with 6 lockers in the walls, all of which had an outlet inside. However, there are 2 beds without outlets and even if someone is nice enough to let you use theirs, if they are gone. out of luck. The beach is nice, the pool is too, overall recommended although the breakfast (instant coffee) could definitely be upgraded to at least include toast.

The hostel, its services and activities were great, the only downside is the wifi, which they claim is only available in the bar and tour area, but not even there will it connect. Overall though, I'd definteley stay again, just keep in mind that if you are someone that needs a constant internet connection, this may not be the hostel for you!

All in all, this was a great hostel. YES THE UPHILL LOCATION is a bit tough (but do-able!) but still very accessible to tourist sites and it was nice to be away from all that. The view is spectacular and the house itself is great too, you can tell they really took care in decorating. Dante was very accommodating and welcoming, super nice guy. I want to return to Guanajuato, and I know where I'll be staying!

I have recommended the hostel to several people now, because I had such a great time there. Also, i found the little boat rides across the lake really fun :)

The bed and room were good, bed was comfortable and there was AC which is necessary in Mumbai. The location can be a bit hard to find if they dont pick you up and getting to central Mumbai is also a bit challenging but kinda fun. However, avoid coming back during rush hour!

Very challenging to find, the alleys that lead to this place are definitely full of character! keep going down the alley to you see the stairs and the tiny temple, follow the signs that say "baba guesthouse" or "ali baba" and the Kautilya Society Residence will be the building at the kink in the road. Loved the place, loved the food, and the people. Very good experience here. One thing to note are that the beds are very hard, you have a thin mattress on wood, hopefully they get new ones soon!

GREAT hostel! after weeks in India, it was nice to actually find a real hostel. The beds in the "air" room were perfect, and the room was warm when it was cold outside. I guess I was lucky and always had warm showers but you did have to step outside to take a shower but not a huge problem. Highly recommend this place, I had a great time!

The bed was nice and soft and there were plenty of blankets to keep warm. The shower was nice and hot too. You can get around using public transportation, but keep in mind the LOCATION. Its definitely nice to be able to walk around and not have anyone hassle you or ask where you are from, but if you are trying to do anything touristy, it will be a bit of a hike. Everyone was friendly and I liked the breakfast too.

The bed was decent, and the location was good. However, this was not a place for backpackers (and I don't know if any such place exists in Dubai) but at least this was a place to spend the night if, like me, you just HAVE to see Dubai. For the price you pay the room should be better, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while, especially the bathroom and mirrors, except for the bed which had clean sheets.

The bed was good, the location was great, however the bathroom with the tiny sink took some getting used too so you didn't splash water on yourself, but was okay in the end. The main problem I had wad with wifi. It just never connected. The people at reception said that it was probably just my device, but when I talked to the others in my room EVERYONE was having issues. Internet connection has become a necessity when traveling, and cannot believe a hostel in London would have such poor service.

This place needs more plugs/ power points to charge things! It was kinda cut-throat to charge your things, you'd come back to find others had unplugged you to charge their items. Several power strips would be an easy solution. Also, the rooms were very stuffy, definetely need a few fans. The staff was helpful, but kinda all on top of each other and things like check in were slow. Still, a good hostel, comfortable location that was a welcome change from european hostels.

I would recommend they install a shelf for the upper bunkbeds so you have a place to put your things if you get a top bunk.

The bed wad good, but the floor is REALLY creaky, makes loud noises everytime someone walks around. The owner was sometimes standofish and other times nice, perhaps I didn't get his sense of humor? The shower could use some work, and maybe a shower curtain could help avoid having to mop up afterwards.
