very good location and very good value for money. on a main road with restaurants and supermarkets nearby. nice kitchen which can be very important. very nice staff even though sometimes there was only one who were very busy on all their duties.

Ricky

Hong Kong

Nice, well-equipped kitchen. Clean rooms, nice outside space. Right off of highway 1.

Nora

United States of America

Very accommodating, excellent kitchen, great location!

Delanie

United States of America

The kitchen was well-stocked (two microwaves, two ovens, etc). The brightly colored duvet covers and walls were a nice break from all the white-blankets white-walls places at which we've been staying. It's a block away from a grocery store, so we walked to that for dinner and that was nice.

Kendra

United States of America

The location was pretty good. The room was comfortable and it had a sink which was useful.

Karla

United States of America

Sink in the room is nice. Kitchen area had an island with four complete cooking areas each with stove, sink, oven, equipment. Very convenient, especially with large grocery store just down the street for getting supplies.Fun! Located on Main Street, easy to find. Person working the front very helpful. Needed laundry done and they completed the task with excellence, followed all my directions. So nice!

Barbara

United States of America

Fantastic place, customer service was outstanding. The receptionist mentioned that breakfast started at 8, but my wife and I had to leave much earlier than that for our trip, so she prepared some food and left it in the fridge for us! Later, when we need an outlet adapter for European plugs, she let us have one of the ones that previous guests had left behind. Besides that, the facilities were comfortable and a good value. I would recommend staying here.

This hostel has double and single private rooms if you don’t want to sleep on a bunk bed Kitchen was huge with 4 areas to cook, so it comfortably accommodates all the people who stay in this hostel. I think it was the cleanest hostel I’ve ever been to.

There were only two mirrors in the areas I stayed in. I stayed in a private room n I would love to have a small mirror in the room.
The kitchen n dining area is pretty spacious which could accommodate 30 people. And it’s fully equipped with all the cooking utensils

The sewerage smell coming up from the drains in the bathrooms. But it was raining and that have affected the drains.
The beds were comfy and the bathrooms clean. I liked the clean floors and the "shoes off policy.

Bathroom ran out of handsoap and shower didn’t drain! Prking is in front of the main street. I imagine it would be tough to pull out during high season.
Great value for a dorm bed! Staff was nice and very nice kitchen with 4 sinks/stoves for cooking unlike others i stayed in that has only one.
