I just loved this hostel.
Such a good vibe and the beds are super comfy with a curtain 🤩 and own charger at the bed 😍
I spent a longer time there and didn't regret it at all. I'd always come back for sure

The room was fairly self contained and new inside. You also had access to the main kitchen - laundry washing was free. Sone breakfast cereals milk and some other staples supplied. Great view from the room

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

Beautiful courtyard, old school kiwi bar, chandeliers, clean rooms and friendly staff. Thee best location and very affordable !!! I stayed for 2 nights and loved it. Felt very safe and cozy. Small room with small bathroom with great shower, lots of hot water and great water pressure. 3 beds, like a hostel but better and more affordable. Absolute loved it, walked everywhere.

Check in and out was so quick and easy, the room was comfortable, great location and I loved that the female dorm had a keypad lock instead of a key for that extra sense of security! I would highly recommend this hostel!
