Amazing sums up this whole place, the rooms were clean the staff was super helpful and very kind they went out of their way to make sure you had all you needed, or where to go get it. The kitchen was clean and organized, very spacious and every one using it was respectful of others. The grocery store was walking distance and had all you could want, along with the markets close by. The AC worked, but was not needed.

Excellent quiet hostel that will make you feel at home!! The staff are all very friendly and the smaller size definitely makes it feel more homey. Would recommend if you are looking for a hostel to call "home" while you are away!
