Liked: Clean, it is close enough to the bus station, but by far one of the further away though... Gave me a big room, but right next to kitchen & is noisy.

Disliked: Staff cannot speak English & can't help to make taxi transfer to airport. I was trying to make reservation for toure and thought they would have done this several times, but the staff was sure of the packaged deal & thought I would have to pay them when actually, I have to pay the tour operator. Wasted a lot of time trying to figure things out. Room was noisy as mine was right next to the kitchen.

Liked: It was very close to the bus terminal, and it was clean. Comfortable bed.

Disliked: The receptionists speak very little English. My room was absolutely freezing as there was no heater. The shower floods the bathroom. The common TV is very small & static.

Liked: Close to bus station

Disliked: Our room wasn´t as described, we booked a double room and got a dorm room (although only us in there) in what appeared to be a converted garage. The ensuite bathroom was really poor, the door didn´t shut properly and the shower was really weak. The breakfast was also very poor just bread and coffee.

Liked: Garden and swimming pool were great. Close to bus terminal.

Disliked: Not enough bathrooms. Need to fix flooding problem in main bathroom as the area around the toilet floods with water from the shower area becaues it does not drain properly. Restricted kitchen hours, and limited cooking equipment. Swimming pool needs to be kept clean daily due to rubbish from trees. Garden furniture needs replacing as half of it has broken.

Liked: It was near the bus terminal.

Disliked: The worst and really scary experience we had was that a man came in our room in the middle of the night although he didn't sleep in the hostel. This shouldn't happen in a hostel that people from outside that are no guests can enter unseen the rooms. The man who runs the hostel didn't at least say sorry for the inconvenience. Moreover, we didn't get the room we booked, a four bed dorm, but a 6 bed dorm. On top of that, the staff was rather unfriendly and in the end, we had problems to pay the price that was displayed in hostelbookers.
