  • First at all it's a very nice hostel. The kitchen could be much better but the rest is fine.

  • I put down a poor review because I was upset that they didn't offer airport shuttles, as promised (it's not cheap!) but overall, the place is actually very clean, safe and well managed. Just fix up the shuttle whoo-ha so we are all on the same page.

  • Would have had a better stay if the sheets on our bed would have been changed before our visit. When turning down the bed a perfect person shaped wrinkle was still in the sheets. I will not recommend this hostel to others.
