01 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff was extremely hospitable and helpful. Brought in 15 other travelers after my stay booked here and we all stayed at the African Hostel cheaply. They allowed us to put 9 in a 3 bedroom so that the students could save money for future travels as this was the first stop on a 50 day trek across to Istanbul.
