A lovely backpackers with a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure to stay there. I had to cancel a couple of nights of my stay on short notice and the manager went out of his way to avoid the cancellation fee. Great communication.

Please provide a plug for the sink in the bathroom. Essential for contact lens wearers.
