Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
The host was very friendly and accommodating. The facilities were much nicer than I expected. I stayed in the dorm, and the space I was given was comfortable, roomy, and with a pull-down screen for privacy. As with any hostel, the others staying there can be noisy, and it seemed as though there was a lot of activity throughout the night. But it's to be expected. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with my stay.
