Breakfast could be better. For example: fruit, eggs, yoghurt, corn flakes.

Superb new hostel on edge of town but not too far from centre. Was impressed by the architecture and the spacious accommodation. The young lady on reception was especially freindly and helpful.

Have stayed a few times in this hostel and a few times I've been eaten alive by mosquitoes. So be prepared for that. The hostel itself is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

we came all the way from turkey. but we could not get in. because we were two hours late. we know the rules. we had to call before we arrived but sometimes when you are out of your country calling can be hard. the stuff were so mean and so angry. a hotel stuff must be awake to gain money and gain friends. sorry but we are not friends of hi hostel.
