My partner and I stayed in a private room for one night. Overall it was easy to find, and we felt relatively safe for our time there. The aircon worked well once it was working - however it was a little loud and it was right above the bed so it got cold quickly. The shower/bathroom situation is very cramped - but overall it was fine for one night. There’s no social atmosphere but it was okay for us for just one night. The staff though, were extremely helpful.

Right place to stay just for a couple of nights or if you need to stay close to the Airport. The only con is the rooms are small and the walls not too strong and you can hear the people next to your room.

Brilliant hostel. Good location with great facilities and the place was nice and clean. The staff were very nice and looks after you with any queries and they helped us book a tour and arrange transport to our next destination.
