I had a pleasant stay at the hostel, which is conveniently located near the airport. The atmosphere is quite homey, making it a comfortable place to relax after a long trip. The cleanliness is impressive, though I found the dorm room a bit hot, and the air conditioning could use some improvement. Overall, it's a good choice if you're looking for easy airport access and friendly service.

The location is very convenient, being close to the airport and having easy public transport options. However, the bedroom was quite hot and dry, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times due to the air conditioning not being sufficient for the size of the room.
