I arrived at the hostel in the morning and they kindly let me check in as there was a bed available. All of the staffs were very kind and willing to help me. The room was very spacious, clean and had nice air-conditioning throughout the day. They had nice rooftop where you can talk with your friends, and eat breakfast and dinner. You can have a lunch and dinner here if you want, its $5 each. The breakfast was great, and you have nice hot shower too. It's not located centre of the city but if you take public bus, its very easy to access. I liked the fact they provided a locker for each person so that you can secure your valuables safe. Overall, it's value for money and I would recommend to anyone! I would stay here again. ##### Suzy Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near CN Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/CN-Tower-Hotels.0-l503147-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerfoot Inn & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Deerfoot-Inn-Casino.h1351229.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Fallsview](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Fallsview.h1400907.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d16-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Grenada, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Georges-Hotels-Royalton-Grenada-Resort-And-Spa-All-Inclusive.h36774395.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/icn/montreal-to-seoul) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yvr/kitchener-to-vancouver) > > [flights from charlottetown airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yyg/flights-from-charlottetown-airport) ### Packages > [Universal Studios Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Universal-Studios-Hollywood-Los-Angeles.d501594.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Fiji Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Fiji.d57.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Japan Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Japan.d89.Destination-Travel-Guides)
