This was such a nice place! I slept well, plenty of travelers to chat with, and they were super accommodating and let us leave bags there for a couple days for a small fee. The place was clean and the included breakfast was good

Ideal location near TIKA bus terminal. The beds however were awful and like cardboard as the mattresses were so thin. Only accepts cash.
