Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness1.0

    Mixed signals: many guests call rooms and linens very clean and note frequent staff cleaning, but multiple comments cite old shared bathrooms and at least one report of a badly smelling toilet, indicating inconsistent bathroom cleanliness.

  • Service1.0

    Very positive: numerous reviewers praise the staff as friendly, helpful and welcoming; several mention staff-assisted bookings, tours and convenient late check-in.

  • Location1.0

    Positive: repeatedly described as well located for the airport and close to main street/restaurants while being on a quieter side street — convenient for short stays or transfers.

  • Room Quality1.0

    Mixed to negative: beds and AC are often praised (comfortable, cool rooms), but specific issues include mattresses wrapped in plastic that crinkle and reduce comfort, and reports of noisy air-con in some rooms.

  • Amenities1.0

    Mixed: there are pleasant shared areas (garden, swings), water dispenser and reception services, but guests note limited shared bathrooms, no fridge or guest kitchen/bar and occasional weak Wi‑Fi.

  • Value for Money1.0

    Positive: explicitly called good value by several reviewers and described as great for a short stopover before/after flights.

  • Food and Beverage1.0

    Negative: multiple guests note the absence of a bar, guest kitchen or refrigerator; food/beverage options are minimal (water/boiler only), so F&B offering is poor.

  • Overall Experience1.0

    Slightly positive overall: many guests felt at home due to staff and vibe and recommend the hostel for short stays, though bathroom and some room issues temper the experience.

Loved the staff! Ate Jean, one of the reception staff was very accommodating and made me feel at home. Had a good chat with her during my stay and before i left :) even the newbie did good with assisting me to my room and engaging in conversation! Hoping to see everyone again next time. Loved that the property and room was quiet during my stay.

Had three male roommates during my stay for my first night. One was moving and coughing very loudly while everyone was asleep. All in all, experience was still great. Given that its a hostel, an experience is expected haha.

The double bed pod was really comfortable and perfect for a couple or solo traveler. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

a brand new hostel in close proximity to the airport (one tricycle away) with its new facilities, comfy beds and rooms, and always sparkling clean restrooms (with hot water for showers!!). they’ve also got free water and a mini shop by reception where they sell toiletries, snacks and desserts. overall a cool place to meet fellow backpackers and travellers! thanks so much for hosting me :)

Très pratique pour une nuit. Le lit était confortable nous avons bien dormi. Le personnel est très gentil et serviable. Proche de l’aéroport

Il n’y a qu’une salle de bain pour la chambre et elle est assez rudimentaire je trouve.
