    I was impressed that the hostel seemed clean - with staff cleaning daily, and also AC worked marvellously in my room. Easy check in. Good quiet hostel if you're looking for a cheap stay in a great location.

    Great location, the room was very quiet, and the place had a really nice vibe in general - a real mix of ages and different types of travellers. We were looking for a cheap, quiet place to stay as a family (two kids aged 10 and 12) and this worked really well, given that we were out and about most days. The place was very relaxed and didn't have a 'loud party hostel' vibe which was perfect for us!
