| Its was very relaxing, not doing much but also the weather was so hot that you don't want to go out. It would have been better if the hostel have a ceiling fan or air con. because it was so hot at night trying to sleep. | ||

| It was a very comfortable hostel. Breakfast was nice and they have hot water,
coffee and snacks in the kitchen for guests. It is extremely nice they let you stay inside the hostel during their lockout. The only complaint is that the toilets don't really flush. Everything seems to go away except for the toilet paper!! | ||
