    It’s a peaceful charming place where you can meet cool people with the same “zen” vibe. It’s not a party place at all but the connection between travelers is better and deeper, good socializing and easy to make friends and do things together...

    The owner is very kind. Free breakfast and social dinner are a great way to meet new travellers. Conditions are pretty basic but the vibes and kindness of the owner compensates for that .

    Great hostel and lovely staff!! The best thing is the fact that you get free breakfast and dinner. You can have add-ons for extra but the main meal is free which saves up a lot in comparison to restaurant prices. Its right next to Ella Rock...
