“The service was outstanding – friendly smiles, good conversations, and any issues were sorted straight away. Rooms were very clean with great quality for the price. Beds were extremely comfortable and the staff went above and beyond. The volunteer was especially amazing, always available. Free lockers, clean blankets and towels. Excellent value. The dorm beds had privacy curtains, wall outlets and USB ports, and ample storage. Staff were efficient and kind. Free Wi-Fi, AC, lift, adults only, and no smoking on site – all added to the experience. Best hostel I've stayed in by far.”
