great location, 5 minutes to the slow boat pier of course! nice staff who did free breakfasts in the mornings. no key given so no lock on the door but it’s a small hostel so didn’t necessarily feel unsafe.

Good place to catch the boat but don’t expect much. Hostel has everything needed to spend the night. Good breakfast.
