Very nice hosts that help you with anything. Nice swimming pool with seats, associated cushions (to ly down), towels and parasols. A short distance away from the main street where the Prime Rose restaurant & bar was excellent! It was also very clean and hygienic.

This isn't just a place to sleep; it's an experience.. First and foremost, the owners, Parul and Shaz, are the heart and soul of this place. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, and go so far above and beyond to make you feel at home.Their passion for their hostel is evident in every detail. The hostel is set in a beautifully restored heritage property, full of character and charm. The aesthetic decoration is impeccable – think a perfect blend of vintage furniture, local art, lush plants, and colourful textiles. It’s incredibly photogenic but, more importantly, it just feels good to be in. I stayed in a cozy dorm that was surprisingly quiet and comfortable.The linen and bedding were of fantastic quality—clean, soft, and I had some of the best sleeps of my trip. The vibrant common areas are where this place truly shines.The social atmosphere is warm and inclusive, never forced. If you're looking for a hostel with soul, character, and amazing hosts, look no further. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will 100% be back. Thank you, Parul and Shaz, for an unforgettable stay

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Centrally located budget hostel paired with a cafe that has board games and books. They provided a free breakfast. The cafe had comfortable seating, however the beds could be more comfortable. Very good options around for dining.
