friendly staff, they checked me in early without any additional fees

Hossam Kuwait

Affordable price, AC is nice, staff is friendly and kind, and location is good to walk inside stone town. And the staff allowed to keep my luggage even after check out.

Nichika Japan

The location is really convenient, especially if you are arriving by ferry, it’s close to the food market, shops and atm machines. I stayed at a female dorm room and it was a great place to meet other solo travelers.
