"Great hostel home stay with clean ammentities and big bonus with the free bikes. Perfect city to ride around and check out all the things the town have to offer. Definitely recommend it. Suggestion is to include the whatsapp and wifi login details for contacting staff once booking are placed otherwise a bigger poster size to state the contact inforamation so that guest wont have to wait too long. Lucky for me, I met the staff as soon as I got there."

"Enjoyed the co do — had most of what we needed. Would spend the money on the ocean view next time…we couldn’t even see the sky unless on the balcony. Otherwise met all our needs. Walking distance to night market and red square doable but roads are great for walking from this condo…Grab is just $2-3 to any of the tourist areas. "

"I really loved how clean the place was and how spacious it was. The place can accomodate 7 people but also has two separate rooms for extra privacy. Each room is accompanied by a bathroom nearby and they have a lock and closed doors for each room which increases privacy so if you’re coming with a big family or friends you can maintain privacy. Each room also has its own kitchenette which is great. Definitely will come back again as the prices are also affordable. "
