Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Cleanliness. I booked based on booking’s rating and it did not disappoint. The juices are amazing and the bed very comfortable. Safe for solo female traveller. The hotel design comes across as a funky hostel vibe but I wasn’t too fussed. The room was clean and sheets clean that mattered most to me.

    Absolutely loved my stay at this apartment! The location was not only convenient but added a delightful touch to my experience. The cleanliness was impeccable, and I can't thank the host enough for being exceptionally helpful. The apartment lived up to expectations, just like the photos portrayed. If you're looking for a place that combines a great location, cleanliness, and a supportive host, this is it! Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

    We had a pleasant stay. Friendly staff, great location, good value for money. The downside was limited choice of breakfast and the food was cold.

    - I like the green scenery and the coffee house. They serve delicious coffee, food and snacks at affordable price with generous portion. - The staff also kind and helpful, bit unless you make a complaint or ask them to do thing specifically, they don't have much initiative like hostel/ hotel staff in a big city. - the bed is comfortable - wifi all over the place, so when my room didnt work, I can easily use wifi from next room
