    It was a nice hostel, super lovely arranged with chill areas/pool and so on. Breakfast was good, you had a variety to choose of. Just a little bit loud during the night whenever people enter. But all in all a very nice place to stay.

    Nice hostel with great atmosphere, nice views & terrace. Really nice and helpful staff. The room was simple but clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was good, near the pool with views of colorful parrots, probably living in a nearby tree.
