Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Good, simple, budget accommodations.
Keep in mind this is a simple hostel (with no curfew). Nevertheless, I booked the more expensive private room. All my expectations were met. I had a clean, comfortable room/bed to sleep in. The hostel is along the main road and is near the center of town, but my room was very quiet -- I slept very well. The bathrooms are separate -- the one I used was roomy and the shower was fantastic. The proprietor I dealt with, and his two pettable dogs, were a pleasure. All in all, I was happy with my stay -- no problems or issues.
