Actually, it was a good experience, yet I think the staff should inform more other customers about the rules when they want to sleep in the shared room.
batikan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The inside was super pretty and they had a bar which offered food and drinks— super convenient after a day of walking or for a quick lunch.
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I enjoyed my stay there. Everyone was friendly from the staff to the people staying there. Everything was walkable very nice place to walk things to do inside and outside. There’s a theme every night so there was something to do if you run out of ideas. I wouldn’t mind staying there again.
John, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a hostel located in a park, so nicely situated. Being a hostel it's very bare bones -- nothing fancy at all. Beds were moderately comfortable. Staff seems very helpful.
Tracy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A convenient place for solo travelers, adventurers, or young people. (I wish the Wi-Fi were faster.)
Zack, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

40 minute walk to town, no fridge or kitchen access. Other than that it was good- pool and ping pong 👍 was my first experience in a six bed dorm.
Sandra, 6-night trip

Isabel, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a good hostel, highly recommended. Only few things are it’s very dusty & stuffy in the room that I stayed. Unable to open the window to circulate air from outside. My dust allergy got very bad. Also, they don’t clean the bathroom as often.
