The location, the people, the events, and the late check out were all amazing. This hostel was super social and we got to meet so many people in our time there. Would definitely stay again. (The cute cat was a bonus)

The room, common area, pool area, stuff, people.. everything was perfect. I felt at home and didn't want to leave this place. It doesn't feel like a hostel but more like hotel comfort, especially in common areas. Thanks everyone for making my stay so pleasant.
