The pool was a definite added bonus, comfortable beds, good water pressure in the shower, generous breakfast and super friendly and helpful owners

It's fine for what it is; very basic hostel, pretty run down looking, but totally okay for a one night stopover. Pool area looked nice enough, super close to the airport and safe to walk at night. Breakfast starts at 7am, but I had to leave at 6am. Room was surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the airport.
Pillow was super lumpy and dirty, mattress was okay. Shower also didn't seem to get warm. Pretty run down overall.
