Great service! Just a heads-up, if you're on the second floor with large luggage, it can be a bit inconvenient. They have a free swimming pool and a really spacious kitchen if you want to cook your own meals. Plus, there's a shopping center right across from the hotel, which is super convenient. It's also an easy walk to the market or night market.

The views are nice, and the facilities are ample, including free shared cutlery, kitchenware, a fridge, a swimming pool, and a yard. The only downside is there are quite a few mosquitoes. It's great for sunbathing during the day, and overall, it's pretty good for a hostel.

Great location right in the city center, and the staff was friendly! However, the room was a bit smaller than expected. Still a solid choice for a short weekend stay.

The instructions for late check-in were very clear. The room was clean and relatively quiet. The location is right in the city center, making it convenient to get everywhere. The atmosphere was also good.

• room: clean bedsheets and pillows, clean AC filters and overall a compact functioning double room. Even though the room was nearby the stairs I did not hear noise from people passing by and had a good sleep • shared bathroom was cleaned meticulously. • amenities: they have a pool which is really nice and the inner courtyard is quite comfortable and has space to interact with other guests as well to just chill • location: 15 min taxi from the airport (only way to go to the airport) 10 min walk from the train station and 15 min walk to the seaside. There are few restaurants and a supermarket in front of the hostel • staff: kind an supportive my background: I travel 320 days a year since 8 years staying in all range of accomodation from hostel to 5star. I just review objectively what I see with no judgement
