Quite an incline to get to, but the place itself was pleasant. The person working was welcoming and overall the place was quite clean.

The location was good and the family was nice but I found a bed bug which definitely ruined the stay. Also this not not a super social hostel so not the greatest spot to meet people.

Nice place does the job. You can’t cook for yourself but the food on offer is great and a fair price. The family vibe is nice
