We really enjoyed our stay. We had the Amazon (luxury) room and it was great. Loved the bed ! Firm and really comfortable! Soaker tub and complimentary wine was also nice. Freddy in the restaurant and all staff were great. We walked to centre of old town from the hotel within 10-15. We felt safe ...

Secret Garden - Hostel
The staff were always very helpful and responsive. The hostel has a great nightlife scene, which is a lot of fun, but it can also get a bit loud at times.

Very convenient location so close to the airport and no noise. Staff were lovely. I especially appreciated the water station for refilling water bottles and the carafe in the room - it was good water too!
