The owners of this Hostel are fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. Even came to find me when I couldn't find the hostel (I was very tired after an overnight flight). It's basic, but perfectly adequate for my needs. I was in two different rooms and the beds in both were very comfortable. It was very clean and tidy. I'd definitely stay there again. Terrific location.
