The staff was very friendly and protective. They gave great assistance and advice on navigating the city. They actually worked to save me money on the airport shuttle by pairing me with other riders! You will be a short walk from the grocery, bank, internet cafe, and downtown market areas. There are buses and a train literally outside the door to take you anywhere in the country. I had a great time!

We were disappointed to have to pay extra to be upgraded to a different room when it was the hostel\'s mistake.

I would not walk through the neighborhood at night but it's centrally located near downtown markets, clean, secure and very friendly! I would stay there again.
