Nice, clean accommodations. Appreciated the bathroom setup with sink, toilet, and shower in separate spaces in our private room for 4. A little surprised by lack of towels and soap--i feel this could be included without the extra charge. Other than that very good stay.

It is a hostel. With that in mind, the staff is exellent and cater to your needs with the resources available. The location is phenomenal. They have a convenient breakfast buffet, but if you like the local food, you will do better in quality and price looking around the property.
