We had a wonderful experience at this place. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, with easy access to the airport shuttle and shops. We especially enjoyed the small mall nearby, which offered great dining options. The room amenities, including air conditioning and paid wi-fi, ensured our comfort and convenience. Additionally, the hotel's leisure facilities, such as the swimming pool, were a great way to unwind after a long day of exploring.

We highly recommend this place to everyone!

Located in the heart of the action, this accommodation is perfectly located for those wanting to experience all the main attractions in the area. It's close enough to everything you want to explore and far enough away to avoid any noise disruptions. the rooms are clean and bright, while the staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

The kitchen facilities could be improved to be more organized and clean, and the appliances should be upgraded for a smoother experience.

Great location, close to restaurants and major attractions. the hostel offers a free meal card which is a bonus. the rooms were spacious and clean. the WiFi was also free and speedy, which is always a plus.

The staff were not very welcoming and didn't seem very interested in helping guests. the bathrooms were outdated and could have been cleaner.

During my Christmas stay, I enjoyed the affordable price of this hostel and the fact that it was located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore the area and join tours. the BBQ area allowed for a social atmosphere and the free Wi-Fi was a nice perk.

The kitchen was poorly equipped with only the basics and required a fee for dishware and cutlery. It was also frustrating to be locked out multiple times due to the front gate being closed and the lack of after-hours staff available for assistance.
