Couldn't get a better group of staff running the place and the owner is class, I will be back.

One of my favorite hostels EVER. As soon as I walked in, I knew I'd love it here. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I very quickly felt part of the family. The beds (& AC) were amazing. The free breakfast was perfect. The cats were the best cuddle buddies. + all the activities and amazing location. The common spaces were comfortable and easy to work in (I work remotely), plus booking this hostel, you get access to their chill zone hostel, which is perfect to work with desks and AC. I highly recommend
Real guests, real words. We don't edit them.
