The front desk staff are amazing. They are so helpful and understanding. You can ask them for tour advice and any questions, they are happy to help you. The location is very good. The hostel is cleaned daily. There is a lounge area with TV, a garden to relax in hammocks and a pool table.

I felt intimidated by the cleaning staff. Some of them are lovely, but a few are a bit rude and it made me feel so unwelcome. The breakfast was good, but they served sour, thick milk in a jug a few times. Maybe they re-use the milk for a few days or they need to check the fridge temperature.

Had a lovely stay, staff were very friendly and accommodating with recommendations and booking excursions! Rooms were clean, lockers are available however some hooks need fixing which meant some lockers couldn’t be locked. The hammocks are cool if you fancy chilling out in the hostel!

Make sure to carefully explain how the key system works when people are checking in. One person was unaware it was one key per room and had the key on them for a few days which meant we couldn’t lock the room, apart from that - perfect hostel!
