Room: 1 Bunk Bed | 6 Bed Mixed Dorm | Shared en-suite washroom
Good Stay
Welcoming front desk staff & very hospitable kitchen staff and others. Crowd is good. Safe environment. You’ll have to bring your own towels and other supplies for bath and washing clothes if you’re here for a longer stay. Food menu and taste and quantity can be improved (certainly not the best, but for a quick bite yes- it’ll do) Apart from that.. it was a good experience! 🙂
