My second time staying here, and it was fantastic.\nIt's one of the few hotels that truly functions as a hostel, with areas and amenities for travelers that will make a real difference to your trip. If you want to learn about the hostel industry, meet people from all over, and get to know the country, this is the best place to stay.\nIt's excellently managed by the owner, who is very flexible. You can arrange your schedule and days in advance to explore the country. \nYou can talk to him about any concerns, and he'll help you with everything. \n\nThanks, Chris, always!

My experience at the hostel was great! 🤩 The schedules are respected and flexible, the tasks aren't difficult and I learned a bit about bartending. The place is in a good location, close to transport and with things to do and visit nearby. Chris was always very helpful and there was a really nice atmosphere among colleagues, staff, and guests. I definitely recommend it 🙌🏻 Thank you so much, hope to see you next time! 💗
