It is a family owned hostel and the owners are really good and genuine people, made sure I was really comfortable and looked after, I even got invited to break fast with them during Ramadan which was really delicious. The location is perfect and quiet but really close to town (5min) and all the attractions. Thank you so much for everything, can highly recommend this place:)

Looking for a hostel?

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.
