Welcome Retreat

Lovely welcome and staight forward check in after a long flight. All areas of the hostel were incredibly clean with the private double bedroom and associated washrooms etc spotless! Thoughtfully, ear plugs were in the bedroom for us to use (room facing the busy street) but didnt need them.

Area felt safe, although seemed to be a lot of drugs going on and homeless, but no trouble at all to me and my daughter. Places to eat were really nice. Cost great and staff really nice. Kitchen clean and free breakfast. Rooms ok although bit of repairs needed. I would say overall nice place to stay.

This hostel is in a very cool area that gives off 3rd world market vibes, with tons of great food stalls and cafes. The room itself was nice enough, but it was far too hot and the A/C didn't seem to work, so it was difficult to get a comfortable sleep.
