The bathrooms are clean. I wouldn’t say it’s a social hostel but to relax and have a it of time for yourself it’s great. The owners are great: friendly and helpful. Great location, close to restaurants, cafes and the big mall.

Overall the place is great. The small room I had was for the duration of my stay sufficient but if you plan on staying longer, take the larger room.
