They were doing my bed every day! Everything was clean with curtains every bed. I could sleep very well, everything very comfy.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is amazingly clean, it looks great and I felt at home there. The kitchen is perfect to cook, and the space with the tables / sofa is perfect to both work, have its own space, or meet new people. So far this was the best hostel I’ve been to, a perfect balance between comfort, socialize and keep its safe zone. Will definitely come back ☀️

    I stayed in the 8(?) person dorm room. Excellent beds!! They’re in boxes with plenty of space inside for big backpacks too. Cute design too. Each bed has a lockable sliding door and a safe inside, sockets including usb, even internal shelving and a space to hang some shirts! There are also different light settings inside your box. It was a very nice little nook to get some R&R. The bathrooms were awesome too - best hostel bathrooms I think I’ve seen. Everything clean, hot water, good pressure, hair dryers too.

Also they provide a place for you to handwash and hang your clothes, which is a huge bonus point for long term budget travellers! There is locker in the room. Everything is very safe.
