Quiet location near the centre of town. Lovely grounds. Really nice helpful hosts

The family room was a bit dated. Could do with a refresh. The shower head didn’t function and the water came out as a single jet. Water pressure and temperature varied during the week

It was clean and comfortable . The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. The kitchen was really good to have.

Set up for private rooms, more than dorms, making it less crowded and more spacious and clean. Meet interesting people. The kitchen and place are very clean. Hot water always a plus for me. Staff very helpful and professional. I would return.

An uphill walk to the hostel.

Family run hostel. Staff were friendly, spoke English, helpful and with a very positive attitude. They help organize tours, even transportation to the volcano which would pick you up at the hostel at midnight. Location is superb, within close walking distance to the bus station and town centre where many restaurants are. Yet, it is located on a quiet spot near the hill. Cheapest dorm room I could find that is within the best location of the town. Cool outdoor kitchen with a filter tap to refill drinking water.

Just my personal discomforts, but room was one of the most uncomfortable dorms I've stayed in for several reasons. Due to the placing of the beds and layout of the room although it was a spacious one, it felt like there was only one corner in the room where bags can be left, and every belonging of every guest would have to be placed all over the centre of the room getting in everyone's way. There was just one bathroom for six guests, and unfortunately, it had an odd mayonnaise-like smell. Power sockets were only available on the lower bunks rather than at each bed, which made charging devices inconvenient. Unlike most hostel dorms I’ve stayed at, this one didn’t have privacy curtains. On my last day, I had to leave at 4am for an early bus, and while I was quietly packing, there were two guests on my left and right who were awoken and lay just staring at me in the dark from each side. It was a weirdly creepy, though a little funny moment I wouldn’t have had to experience with curtains. Understandably, hostels are shared spaces but overall, the space felt too close for comfort.
