The staff - Johann really made a great impression during my stay. He is quick, kind and resourceful. He truly enjoys his work, and it really shows with the interaction he made with his guests. Another lady staff i observed was not as eager to help, she'll assist but will not do more unless prompted. The affiliated restaurants of this place are a must try. Although the room is quite small but functional and the shared space has a great ambiance. Highly recommended solely based on Johann, the shared space and the restaurants.

The staff were very friendly and helpful with organising activities in the area. The pancakes and fruit for the free breakfast were delicious. The common area and kitchen are spacious and a nice place to meet other travellers. There are books and games to keep you entertained on a rainy afternoon. Well located and has a beautiful view of the first from the outside seating area. Fast WiFi and very clean.

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.
