It’s budget friendly great value for money in an interesting neighborhood and very close to old town. The shared bathrooms were clean and functional, bed was comfy, several fresh towels, filtered drinking water (glas bottles, no plastic which is great) provided everyday and more to refill in the kitchen area. WiFi was fast and liked the upstairs patio area to drink ur coffee. Owner was super kind. There is a locking system at the front door so it feels safe and it’s quiet. They run a cute cafe but unfortunately open too late for me to try.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pool is mostly in the shade, which is great as the sun is fierce. The double/twin rooms are to a high standard for a simple hotel. The bunk bed room is tight and a more budget version. Friendly cafe next door. Once it’s closed you can buy drinks from the hotel reception. Hotel will lock away your valuables. Very honest, my son left his shoes in the reception area and they were still there the next day. We extended our stay.

    Easily best hostel I’ve stayed in 2 months of travel. The rooms were very private and a great atmosphere compared to the typical bunk beds. Close enough to the city. Quiet when you wanted some quiet in your room and the daily events were great for mingling without being over the top or party centric. Couldn’t of have had a better time meeting new people and finding travellers to do daily things with.

    I stayed in this place for 10 days! It's really good that comes with private bathroom and room service was provided as well. The price is really good even cheaper than the bunk bed hostel. I travel solo, I can say it's really safe for you to stay here as a female traveler. And the room felt so new and nice AC. Sometimes when raining, you don't even have to turned it on because it is so cold already!
