decent stay but overpriced
The overall stay was okay bt overpriced for the amount we paid for a separate room! The food in the cafe was not great either. I genuinely like other zostel properties but this was not upto par! The view is also not that great! You can definitely find better properties at the cliff
Good Stay

Excellent Stay

Average Stay
This place is big and have different activities to do like a TT table, 8 ball pool, darts so on. It also has a dedicated restaurant which is comparatively okayish praised based on what is available nearby.but what i didn’t like was the charger socket on my bed was not working properly which was very disappointing.
Excellent Stay
Nice location neat and clean dorm staff and the cafeteria has very beautiful and cozy vibe to it, in food I'd recommend chicken sandwich it is really nice and they have option of beverages as well

Poor Stay
the locatiom, food were nice...but the amenities weren't that great...the locks on the doors were missing and even the changing room door wasn't latching properly
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! 🙂
