Hostel was good, staff very nice and breakfast was good too. Be aware this hostel is up a very steep hill and some taxis do struggle to get up to it!

At 11:10pm, after a long day of travelling, me and my girlfriend arrived to an abandoned hostel. We’d just missed the check-in window, but despite the hostel advertising a 24/7 reception, there was no one to be seen. We tried calling 3 different contacts, and 2 days later, we have still heard nothing. I therefore can’t provide any accurate feedback on the property because me and my girlfriend were left abandoned outside in the middle of the night with no company aside from wild dogs.

Too high up, half of my rides/tuk tuks couldn’t make it all the way to the location and I had to walk some. One of the people working there wasn’t very friendly borderline rude, but another person (maybe the owner?) was really nice. Overall the place was okay but if you’re just passing through I’d pick somewhere else that’s easier to get to
