A highly recommended place!

The hostel is very nice. Spacious rooms with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. They serve breakfast and offer various activities. The only downside is that you need your own transportation because it's a bit far from everything.

One of the nicest hostels ive stayed in. The vibes are immaculate. Quiet clean rooms, the remote check in was perfect for us needing to roll in at 1am, my only complaint is that its a little dusty and tough on any allergies, but otherwise our night was awesome.
