The owner was a very friendly guy and was very hospitable in showing me his hostel that he had built himself and was able to see much wildlife from the balcony. Really enjoyed my 1 night stay here. Thankyou

Overpriced, but not a bad stay.

I was in a private room without a balcony - which had a funky raised bed - but it was a comfy mattress and the whole property felt secure with helpful staff.

Very quiet - a bit of a walk up away from the main strip. Hotel staff were helpful and the rooms and decor were quite cute. Nice rooftop area for a drink
