Everything was very nice, for a hostel, and much better than most I have stayed in. The location could not be better though finding the enterence can be a bit difficult if you arrive at night because the sign is old, faded, hard to see and in a poor location. Otherwise, I liked this hostel very much and will stay here again. I recommend this hostel to anyone!

Dagrah Croatia

Simple, comfortable, helpful guidance on Booking and on site. I did not have any problem when checking in late.

Quyen Vietnam

1. You can check in late and pay on the next morning. So no need to be stressful about time you arrive. 2. You can make the best choice when you ask them your questions. Where to go, when to checkout, what to eat, and more. 3. The location is good cuz it’s in the middle of sightseeing spots. But actually it’s hard to get there. Just enjoy to make it like you’re in maze game😁 (if you don’t have internet, there is free wifi on the Main Street along the coast where cafes, bars, and restaurants are there.)

Momo Japan

Once I found it, the location literally could not have been better. It is absolutely in the middle of everything you would want to see and do.

Texaskm United States of America

The views were incredible and the bed was extremely comfortable.

Samantha Thailand

Once found, the place is on a prime spot, so close to everything, and anything. Right in the middle of all " the action". The cleanness of the hostel was so immaculate, the staff so helpful too.

Suzanne United States of America

Good location, big lockers, clean, a towel provided. It also had a nice balcony to sip a cup of tea out of the sun (bring your own teabags!)

Julie United Kingdom
