Just back from a couple of days at this first class hostel - a well run place where the emphasis is on informality and relaxation. The place is nothing fancy, but you're not paying fancy prices so that's ok and the location is great - central without being noisy. High level of cleanliness and a warm welcome from Rick, your...

I stayed here with a friend for three nights in August. After arriving by bus we were shown straight to our room which was small but comfortable. We had a twin room - one bunk bed and just about enough space for two bags and people. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and we never had to queue. The hostel... More

We could not stay here. It was not clean, it smelled, the people had body odor, the place and a cat. and the room was a cramped closet. We left.
