Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests.

The team takes a lot of time, effort and care for their quests, making themselves at your disposal all time during the day. We stayed in a family room that had plenty of facilites to put your luggage on, a desk, chair, table, etc. like in a real hotel. Everything was perfectly clean. The privacy is respected even though it is a hostel. The option for free activites that this hostel offers is so cool!

A very cozy room with fast wifi, nice tv in the private room, and a decent size. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. The place felt like a little home for a couple nights with the cats and the dog which is nice when you are travelling and moving. The price is very good and not too far from the city as well. It was a nice area but it was not the quietest however, that comes with a residential area. There are lots of convenient shops, good restaurants around and popular good bars around.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location within easy walking distance of the markets, the harbour and museums. Rooms were comfortable (importantly, very good pillows) and clean although not very sound proof. We were subject to a very loud crowing cockerel at all hours of the day. Lovely little pool on the rooftop, although only 4 beds. We ordered food from the rooftop bar, which when it arrived was very good but took an age to arrive.

    The room was very big. The hostel is located in a central part of the city, we did almost everything by foot. The room itself felt like a hotel room, but when you got into the hallway it became clear it was a hostel :) The staff was very helpful! You can store your luggage and book tours through the hostel. The prices were super cheap in comparison to the comfort of the room!

    The host is really friendly and very accommodating. The location is clean and the dorms have curtains. For the ridiculously cheap price you can't go wrong. There is a strong air con and additional fans, and lockable boxes for the bags under the beds. The water in the shower was hot and the hostel is in a great location.

    Great location, really close to night life yet tucked away on a nice quiet street which was ideal. Staff were extremely friendly they let us leave our suitcases in reception until check in time while we went off on a tour and when we returned one friendly staff member had brought our bags up to our room for us and booked us a taxi to the airport on our way home which we really valued. Other than that fine for a night or 2 if on a budget. Aircon was great!
