The stay wa good overall. A clean place, nice people, good breakfast. The only thing I regret is that there was a roommate who was very noisy and even ate in bed while we wanted to sleep.. But that is not the fault of the hostel, so it was all barbarous in general lines. I will definitely return!

Staff in the property were very friendly n helpful. Stayed in a 6-beds F dorm but mates in the same room never nod nor smile when we see each other in the room! So very cold room. The community kitchen was atriously tiny ! Only single-file standing could b allowed to do anything, let alone cook.
