Rooms are not overcrowded and have AC. Beds are super clean and comfortable. Also they have outlets at each bed for charging and its own light. Added touch of a curtain for privacy on each dorm bed. There is a common space on each floor to sit. The property has a very homey cozy clean professional authentic feel. Simon and staff are helpful in so many ways. Bathrooms are spotless. I usually get a private room but here you don’t need to. Highly recommended.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
