Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Great location, close to the beach but tucked away where it's quiet. They had an assortment of board games, books, and instruments to use during your stay. The hostel had a chill, social vibe. The staff was super kind and helpful. Vikrim even helped me buy a new phone after mine broke. I am incredibly grateful for him. The beds were comfortable too.
