I was booked in to stay 6 nights here but only stayed 1. I got there at 7.00pm and the bar was shut half an hour later. There was just no atmosphere to the place at all and it wasn't the cleanest of places.

this hostel is in a fairly good location not far from town, it was average cleanliness, but there was an awful smell to the place both times we stayed, smelt like sweaty feet! yuk

Great to stay just walking distance outside the town, no noise at night, a/c & fans in rooms. Great showers and a nice area to relax by the pool. Thank you!

Could do with some more showers and toilets cos there did'nt seem to be that many for the amount of beds. The air con in the room i was in was directly in front of me so at night i froze and the rest of the room complained how hot it was.

The staff helped me get on a tour on short notice. The location rating is lower due to all of the local construction
