Liked: Lovely quiet place full of plants and wooden sculptures with very friendly staff.THE GENERAL REMARK TO ALL HOSTELS: When hostels announce the "free internet" service, they should specify DEFINITELY if they provide a real PC hardware with free internet or just a free Wi-Fi spot requiring your own laptop. Otherwise you do not know exactly while booking if you have to take a laptop with you or search for internet cafe upon arrival (which sometimes can be located quite far away from the hostel)

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
