The staff at the hostel was the most friendly I have ever met. In particular, Jess, Inca and Zachim went the extra mile to accommodate some special needs I had and were always very helpful. The location of the hostel is excellent for it is very close to the Skybus stop from and to the airport. Very safe and lively area. Great stay!!! Thank you!

I would stay here again because the price was unbeatable includes a basic breakfast or cereal or toast tea/coffee AND its got to be the easiest hostel to get to from the airport!!! The hostel is less then 5 minutes walk from the airport shuttle bus - literally walked in a straight line and i was there. So easy to find. They had an option for after hours checkin too. Only dislike was there is no elevator, i had to carry 30 kgs up 3 flights of stairs late at night.

The things that i notice is the pillow is thin and filthy same way goes to the quilt has stain , door of main toilet at floor 2 making a loud sound when somebody going out and in as the doorstopper doesn't works. well, no lift . However, it still recommendable. keep it up guys the excellent service you have now…

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
To start with, I didn’t get my access code to the front door for which I had to stay outside and talk over for 20 minutes because the lady In reception was not able to locate my booking. After I got in all the lower beds of my room were taken so I had to take one of the top beds where there was no access to power outlet. I asked if any extension cable was available but there was none.
