Liked: En suite room is quite nice. I was allowed to check in early after an overnight flight and they gave me somewhere to rest while my room was being prepared. Very helpful.

Disliked: Arguably the location isn't as great as the rating suggested, it's 10 mins walk to the main street, although good enough if you want to get to the main bus station. No shower facilities in en suite room

Liked: This was a fantastic hostel, very good value, with a large twin/ensuite and own kitchenette. It was very clean, secure, quiet and only a short walk from the centre of the city. Everyone was helpful and the breakfast was substantial and varied. The flybusand excursion buses drop off and pick up outside which was very useful. Highly recommend and will be going back.
