Great staff and experience.
Had a great experience with the room, stay, and staff. Everybody was friendly and accommodating, and helped my first solo trip experience feel like I had friends with me. They readily gave me great recommendations and even showed us around during the daily activities. The rooms and bathrooms were also always available and very clean. I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent hostel experience.
It is a hostel, not a hotel, so do not expect hotel amenities.
It was our first hostel experience and it was very good.
The location is good. The staff and everyone else were friendly and very helpful. Our room for 2 was clean and comfortable. The WiFi was good. The toilets and showers were good, private, and not dorm like.
We had a very good experience and would happily stay there again.
