I loved the staff and the people. Really nice community and the showers and bathrooms were cleaned regularly. The balcony attached to the kitchen made it feel more spacious.
The rooms were a bit small and guests have little floor space for luggage and stuff.

I have stayed in many hostels over the years and this place is unparalleled when you factor in the following, which was immediately apparent upon arriving;
- calm energy and vibes
- very helpful and friendly staff
- super warm and welcoming guests all of whom treat the venue and also each other with kindness, curtesy and I genuinely mean this when I say it you can feel like someone you’ve just met is a dear friend that you can trust and also have a crazy good laugh with!
By far the cleanest and highest quality bathrooms and other facilities.
Staff are very accommodating and make you feel like you are at home, so to speak.
Special shoutout to Victor who is a fantastic staff member and just a super cool guy!
I have zero complaints!

The rooms were a good size. The kitchen is well equipped.
A lot of people are staying there long term so it's not so much of a backpackers hostel. The location is good for getting to the airport but not so close to other things in the city.
