The staff were fantastic, checking in at two am and being greeted enthusiastically. Everything was clean and tidy. The breakfast buffet was quite good and starting at four am is a bonus for anyone leaving early. I would definitely recommend this hotel/hostel.

I was expecting this to be a regular hostel with shared dorms and things like that but we got our own room which was really great. Checkout was super easy too. I appreciated that the staff doesn’t throw out food and things that people leave in the hostel and it becomes communal property. I wished that breakfast had been complimentary, but I appreciated the free tea and coffee provided. Staff was friendly and patient as well.
