Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very nice receptionist. Clean common area. I was charged a deposit when I booked. Ended up paying full price even after Orbitz explained I paid deposit two months ago. Staff was really nice and I don't blame them about the mix up. Breakfast is toast, boiled egg, pancakes, pineapple rings and cucumber slices. It was nice to start my day with a little something in my tummy.

Liked: Staff & service
Overall: Reception and staff were always helpful. Its a quaint stay, since you're mainly paying for a place to sleep, shower, and rest. First Hostel experience, and I can confidently say I could do again. For budget travelers, adventurers, and newly singled it works.
