Pedro Brazil

The Hostel is cosy and offers a nice ambience .The rooms are exceptional. Got curtains on every bed, so you can have some space of your own. Polite and reliable staff at the reception.

Nithin New Zealand

Not much . People come and go . Time is the factor .

Huffam New Zealand

The staff is awesome and very friendly. I like the design of the common areas which provide lots of tea, coffee, and cooking facility. People can gather together to chat and relax. The design style of the hostel combines artwork, bright colors, big windows, and nice lighting.

Anna New Zealand

The shower was the best and there are really comfortable beds, not to mention the comfort of the facilities, five stars :)
