It's what you would expect of a backpackers hostel. Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. Only negative was limited parking, but then again, it was a backpackers place.

I loved the vibe here eclectic mix of people and everyone very friendly. Place was well kept I upgraded after 2 nights when I saw the private rooms on top and figured I waNted to spoil myself. Team was very helpful in figuring out the village and what’s worth to do. I would definitely return here happily.
