Laura Esther

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I enjoyed the service and the activities the staff offered, such as the pool party, yoga and mindfulness sessions. The water dispenser didn’t work during my stay, so it was uncomfortable to refill the water bottles, because we (the guests) had to use a knife to open the water faucets. The food is good and the drinks are amazing!

Great location. Great restaurant with great food. We were located on the third floor. The hostel only has stairs so be prepared to walk up 100-200 steps to get to your room every time you come and go. It’s fairly tough when you are carrying your luggage or groceries.
