Great place to stay in Beijing. Location is close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Staff is nice and helpful. The beds are confortable, the best one I had in China. It is very clean, the shower worked good and always had hot water. Wi-Fi good also. There is a restaurant but I think that the beer prices was a little high compare to other places around there. So, will definitively recommend this place to stay.

Even so I had to spend the first night at a different hotel, my stay there on the 2 nights I was there, was very nice. The room was small but it had everything I needed. The owner was really nice and tried to accommodate me the best she could. The location is good, walking distance to Gros Islet and very convenient to go to the Friday street party. The bus stops 2 minutes walking from the guesthouse. There are lots of buses from Castries. I would recommend this place.

First I made a reservation for a 6 beds female dorm and when I got there, there is only one mixed dorm with 16 beds... So the next day they transfer me to the central location in Harare. There was a female dorm with 9 beds in a small space. The location is walking distance from town and Chris, who is in charge of eveything, is a great cook and is always willing to help for anything. This place needs some fixing, and the beds and sheets (do not cover the bed) are terrible.

The location is nice even so it is quite a way out of town but you can take public transport. Thembi, a driver +263776531258 is great and was recommended by Adam. His prices were good and he is a good guide also. The place is nice but can use some more cleaning in the kitchen and common area. Shower was lukewarm at best. The beds wre good and have plenty of blankets.

One of the best hostel in Africa. Great location, great staff, great dorms with good beds and mosquito nets, hot showers, free coffee and tea and free pancakes at 3pm. Wi-fi works pretty OK and is free. You also can get a free ride to the Falls or to the border. I would definitively recommend this place for anyone as they also have private roooms and a pool.

Nowhere in the direction it said that you have to hire a boat to get to it. I had emailed the owner and his answer was to call. Don't have a phone. The facilities mentioned in Hostelworld, are not accurate. No bar, no breakfast included, no internet, no hot water, no housekeeping, the bathroom and the shower curtain could use a good cleaning, etc.. They should not advertise something they do not have. Meals are expensive for what you get. Felt stuck as you need to take a boat to go anywhere.

Just 2 things, the location is not good, way to far from anything you want to see and taking a taxi every time you go anywhere gets to be expensive. The owner did not seem to know about buses, but said that she will check, The second thing is that the smell of moth balls in the room is really bad, talked to the owner about it and she said that she did it because of the new smell of things there????? Otherwise, it is really nice.

View Property Reply

We provide information on public transportation if guest wants to go to certain places. But taxi is always advisable, it is relatively cheap by global standard, and much safer than buses. We sometimes put mothball to neutralize the smell of the sewage.

Would definitively recommend this place. The girl at the desk is great, and seems to be doing everything. She keeps a great hostel. Very nice common area, washing machine, very clean. The only one thing i did not quite like were the showers, as there is no place to dress except inside the shower stall, not very practical but doable.

When the staff is there, they are great. But when I arrive nobody was there. I had to wait more than 20 minutes. The owner is a great cook, so I ate there and it was really good. It is in the old town, so not close to the bus station especially when it is so hot.

View Property Reply

You arrived 20 minutes before working time, and that is reason why you should wait. We clearly put that we are not close to bus station, but we are close to the beach. You should take care about that distance before you did booking.

Made a reservation for a bed in a 3 beds dorm, but found out when I got there that it was in the basement and you get there through a trap door and a ladder!!! Was able to get a bed in another dorm with 6 beds. For the location, the entrance is in the back alley, not on the street. The hostel is nice, clean, but there is only one bathroom with the toilets and shower, so there is a queue for both of them, need to add at least one other toilet and the common area is very small.

Great location between train station and old city. Dorm for 4 is overpriced, has one bunk bed, 2 single beds and a sofa where we found unknown people sleeping through the night. No air conditioner either. Only one shower and floor always flooded so very slippery. When you need to leave in the morning, long line for the shower and toilet.

I'm very sorry you had a bad experience. We have added new policies to address these issues. And never again will there be people sleeping on the couch in the 4 bed dorm.

The hostel is very modern, clean, well located, a little hard to find but the owner said that they will put a new sign really soon to show that the entrance is in the back not on the street. I arrived early (8am after waiting 2 hours at the train station), because I only had a choice of a night bus, I did not feel welcome and was asked to paid for half a day. Never was asked this before whatever time I arrived and I travel a lot. The owner apologized later on.
