Everything was good and well managed. The staff were really humble, respectful, and very helpful. Just a few suggestions for improvement: The bed didn’t have curtains – it would be great to add them for privacy. The shower water was extremely hot, almost burned my skin 😄 – the temperature control system needs some adjustment. Lastly, it would be very helpful to have a Muslim shower in the toilet. If these improvements are made, I truly believe your service will be 100% perfect!

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.
