The place was very well located, organized and clean. Simon was extremely helpful (a life-saver!) and the staff was always friendly. We had aircon, coffee was also available and they offer a laundry service. All in all it was an amazing experience and we are very grateful:)

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
