“Awesome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2012

Good hostel. Close to a major mall. You can also catch the tour bus to tour the city for 30$. Owner is extremely nice. Decent breakfast. Was quiet and clean. What more can you ask for! They will also provide you shuttle to and from the airport. 25$ each way.
