Billy is more than welcoming, and really flexible. The place is really great value , kitchen and clean. It is just small and can be packed so quickly, so do not forget to book, and if you do not like packed place, be prepared.

She provides excellent coffee, and even gave us our own room because we were a couple at no extra cost. The set up of the hostel is how a hostel should be and if... More
