So firstly, I want to thank every staff member I met for making my stay so memorable. Marian, for her lovely smile, Flora for her charm and helpfulness, Marta for her warmth, Jess for her friendliness, and Anna our conversations really stuck with me, and I appreciated every moment we shared. And a special shoutout to my brother Felicie, the bartender, who always knew what I needed, whether it was the right drink or the words that I needed to hear or a mixture of both.. Thanks guys, I needed all of that. I hope our paths collide in the future once again.

everything was extremely clean and tidy. it was very well equipped, there was a variety of shower products for everyone to use, even blow dryers, hair curlers etc. the spaces were lovely decorated, not your usual white aesthetic of a hotel but full of colour and joy. the staff was very helpful and friendly and made us feel very comfortable from the very first second. overall, it was a great experience and i would love to visit again !

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.
