“Gem of a hotel that offers great value”
Lazy Koala turned out to be a gem of a hotel. It's not fancy - think more value for money that covers the basics very well and more. It's conveniently located next to the main road and within walking distance of a few restaurants as well. The facilities were great too - the pool, the sunbeds, the rooftop terrace, parking were all great additions. We booked the dorm room and loved the simple room layout, and the bunk beds, power outlets, lighting and storage. The bathrooms were clean and well equipped as well - special note on the excellent water pressure. The staff were super helpful and breakfast was good too. Can recommend!

“Cozy, relaxing and is a great stay for any occasion!”
The location is awesome, it’s about 1.5km from the Hikka town so the property was very relaxing and quiet, and it’s a short walk to the town. The interior is colorful and chic. Rooms were spacious and had everything we needed. There’s also beanbags laid out inside the rooms and on every floor of the building! The place is great whether you’re coming with a group, as a couple or alone, and for leisure or work. It’s a very calming space. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. No complaints.

The staff is so lovely and helpful. The dorms are really clean and comfortable with a nice sea view! you don’t get that everywhere. English breakfast is good. Common areas are well decorated. I really enjoyed my stay and extended for one more night. Thank you for everything!

“Quite , tranquil place away from the hustle and bustle of the main street of Hikkadua.”
The bed was very comfortable and sheets etc very clean. Loved the fluffy towels and given additional towel for the swimming pool. The swimming pool was amazing and surprisingly big. You could have a decent swim. The room was very spacious and nicely decorated and very clean. The service was courteous and polite and not intrusive. Even though the hostel looks out over the road it wasn't noisy in the room because of good black-out, sound proofing curtains. Quite ,laidback place which was very tranquil away from the busy part further north of Hikkadua. Loved the rooftop seating area which provided a lovely place to watch the sunset and chill out after we got back in the evening. Place for safe secure parking off the main road.
