    I felt like a princess staying at a dusty castle, with hair on my pillow and a refreshing freezing shower. Such a bargain!

    Who needs a permanent staff anyway?

    the room and toilets were clean, and there was hot water available. the next-door shop was convenient, and I had access to a refrigerator. the staff, although sometimes difficult to reach, were friendly and helpful.

    For the price, having my own private room was great. Cons: N/A 😊.

    I keep coming back because the staff helped me find my way. It suits me perfectly with free Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, and massages. I even brought my pet! Can't wait for New Year's!

    Stayed at a hostel where the staff were never around, I had to find my own room! The facilities were basic and the communal area was so inviting, especially with all the building works going on. And let's not forget about the curtains and windows that couldn't keep out the light or noise, what a treat!

    Oh, such a shame, the staff were actually friendly when I could find them! And for the price, I was thrilled to have my own private room.

    I stayed at this hotel for a few days to relax and unwind. The location was perfect, right in the center of town and close to everything I needed. The room and toilets were spotlessly clean, and I always had hot water for showers. They even provided a refrigerator for my use. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. a great experience!

    Can recommend this hotel.

    The nearest airport is so close, just a short drive away! It's absolutely fantastic, just what I needed for a quick getaway.

    Oh, the back was a real treat, looked just like a charming building site. How lovely!

    The location is very central, close to shops and restaurants. The hosts are kind and helpful, making guests feel welcome. The showers and toilets are clean and the beds are comfortable. There are cooking facilities available for guests to use.

    The floors in the rooms are somewhat dirty and could use some improvement.

    Located in the heart of town, this hostel offers convenience and accessibility. With a shop next door and a central location, everything is within reach. the rooms and toilets were clean, providing a comfortable stay. Plus, having hot water was a bonus. Another advantage was the availability of a refrigerator, which came in handy for storing drinks and snacks.

    Although the location was great, the lack of permanent staff and limited English-speaking ability could be challenging for some guests. the absence of a key to the main entrance door made entering the hostel a bit difficult at times.

    Helpful staff, secure space for valuables, clean bed sheets and mattress. Towels could be improved. Good for a quick overnight stay. Comfortable bed, easy to meet people. Clean bathrooms. Close to shops and restaurants. Convenient location near shuttle bus stop and wharf. Basic room with hot shower. Would stay again.

    Convenient location near the main street, with a quiet atmosphere in a nice alley. Comfortable and clean basic rooms, perfect for a business traveler. - Ample toilets and shower cubicles to avoid any waiting time. - Welcoming and friendly staff who go the extra mile to assist guests. - Basic but sufficient kitchenette and free drinking water available. - Reliable and stable WiFi for seamless connectivity during your stay.

    Felt snug, no complaints whatsoever.

    My stay at the hostel was pleasant and affordable. The private room was minimal but comfortable, and the staff, especially David, was friendly and accommodating. Despite the basic facilities, the shower had good pressure and there was a communal kitchen with cooking facilities. The location was convenient, within walking distance of the shuttle bus drop-off and the main tourist area.

    The hostel lacked social vibes and the communal area was not inviting due to ongoing building works. The curtains in the room did not effectively block out light or noise, and there were limited hooks to hang belongings.
