19 October 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it's a small and friendly hostel. location was great for us since we didn't want to stay in one of those huge backpacker party hostels right inside the city. jj's is just a short walk from the city and they also run shuttle busses frequently. PLUS: free brekky and dinner

Liked: Really nice and quiet place with a bit older crowd - nice to get away from the usual backpacker scene. The staff was super nice. It's a bit away from the centre but there's the shuttle bus. Would definitely go back there!

17 December 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: A little far from the city centre, but they have free shuttles running several times a day back and forth. Free dinner and breakfast was great and a supermarket sits about a block away if you want to do your own cooking. Only 3 beds to a room made staying a hostel a bit more comfortable. Enjoyed my stay here.
