Town Centre
7.8 out of 10, Good, (324 reviews)
"I love my stay here (eventhough my room mates made a lot of noise every night at around 10:30 as it's when they arrive but I didn't let it bother me as hey, I'm on vacation 😄). The hostel is in the town centre and is less than a 5-min walk to the nearest Roam transit bus station. The person at check in was very helpful and even carried my very heavy luggage up the stairs to the second floor where the rooms are. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
