Consider Room Location

Some guests recommend choosing a room with a balcony facing the city for amazing views, but be prepared for a climb as the hostel is located on a hill.

Be Mindful of Stairs

Be aware that the hostel is accessed via a significant number of stairs, which may be challenging for some guests.

Check Weather Conditions

If visiting during the rainy season, be prepared for potential leaks in the dining area and limited indoor social spaces.

Bring Earplugs

Due to its location in a lively area, the hostel can be noisy, especially during the evenings, so packing earplugs may be helpful for light sleepers.

Plan for Limited Social Atmosphere

Some guests noted that the hostel lacked a vibrant social atmosphere, particularly during low season, so consider this when planning your visit.

Verify Room Amenities

Check the condition of the rooms, as some guests reported issues such as stained duvet covers, uncomfortable mattresses, and limited space in dormitories.

Pack Light

Given the limited space for bags in some dormitories, packing light can make the stay more comfortable.

Utilize Staff Recommendations

Take advantage of the friendly and helpful staff who can provide tips and advice for exploring the area and arranging tours.

Consider High Season Visits
