| I liked this hostel. The front desk staff helped me figure out where to go and what to see, then when I decided on a tour, they called and booked it for me. Overall a very pleasant experience. | ||
| 18 Jan 2012 Megan, USA | 100% | |
| This place was super clean and friendly. They have a place where you can get food pretty much all the time of the day. The staff was helpful and the location is like 2 min outside of the main road. | ||

| The overall cleanliness was good. I stayed in a 8 bed doorm. Over Christmas the same people stayed for four days. No one came in to clean our bathrooms or empty garbage-thing got a bit dirty. The manager was very pleasant and wanting us to have a great stay. Staff was incredibly helpful and the kitchen facilities were fabulous. | ||
