Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked a double room, with shared bathroom at Civic Guest House. The cost was very reasonable, considering the location and the included pool. My room and bed were very clean and comfortable, and also had a good-sized fridge/freezer. The hostel facilities were excellent and kitchen space large and well set out, while toilets and bathrooms were kept clean and well stocked. Although there were a lot of guests throughout the property, I felt safe and secure at all times. Arthur, on the front desk, was extremely helpful and always friendly. I would definitely recommend Civic Guest House.
