Reviews (9.8 Wonderful)
Nice Backpacker Hostel! People really like their work here and are friendly to their guests. Big rooms with private beds.. Good equipped with personal light, wall socket and curtain. Only thing: Please change more often the sponges and towels of the kitchen.. Also only one towel for all people in the bathroom is not hygienic..
