Disliked: Room comfort
The staff were nice, but it seems like the location is not well versed in travel accommodations. The greeting was lacking and the staff would turn off the pump for water and the geezer randomly. Plus, my friend had a hole in her bed. All in all, a peaceful location but not my favorite backpackers experience.

조용한 분위기의 백팩커스

아프리카의 숙소 수준이 다른 대륙에 비해 좋지 않다는 것을 감안했을때 합리적인 가격대의 시설이다. 다른 나라에 있는 숙소였다면 시설이 떨어진다고 했을 것이다. 시설에 대해서는 큰 기대는 하지 않는 것이 좋다. 분위기는 넓직하며 평화롭고 조용하며 전통적인 분위기가 난다. 직원이 친절하고 도움을 주려고 하나 24시간 상주는 당연히 하지 않으며 밤9시만 넘어도 리셉션에 사람이 없다... 아침의 경우도 전날 요청을 실수로 하지 않으면 아침 7시에도 사람이 없다. 전문적인 경영이 이루어질 필요가 있다고 본다. 그래도 아프리카임을 감안할때 가격대비 나쁘지는 않다.
