The owners were so accommodating. Very helpful and willing to go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The location is quite good if you're not interested in staying downtown. Quite easy (and cheap) to access bus transportation into the city. My only real problem with the place was the bedding had a very damp feel to it and the whole place smelled slightly of damp/mildew-ish. But for a night or two it was very reasonably priced, and the owners were very helpful! As a female traveling on my own, I felt safe and comfortable.

It is a really long way to the city center or the foodmarket! Not just 30 or 10 minutes, as the owner mentionned it.

Other than the mix up with the nights I was staying, most likely due to the time difference between the location of the hostel and the location of the server, it was excellent
