What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Shower Pressure

The shower facilities were fantastic! With great water pressure and consistently hot water, I was able to enjoy relaxing showers after long days of exploring. It was a refreshing experience that enhanced my stay tremendously.

Perfect Kitchen Setup

The kitchen was impressively equipped with everything I needed to prepare my own meals. I particularly enjoyed the variety of free items, especially the fresh eggs! Cooking and socializing with fellow guests made my stay even more enjoyable.

Privacy in Bunks

I loved the unique bed arrangement in the dormitory. Each bunk had curtains for privacy, which made sleeping in a shared space much more comfortable. It felt just like my own cozy nook!

Fun Communal Space

The common area was stocked with board games and had a good vibe for socializing. It was nice to unwind with others after a busy day, and I found myself really enjoying the atmosphere and the games available.
