Great to stay when we were being picked up for a tour but its a little way outside of town so you have to get a cab in. All the rooms were good and had en-suite and a little kitchen in each of the 4 bed dorms.

The reception staff were the only downside, they didnt tell us we had to book the free shuttle even though we'd talked to them about it so we missed it and they didn't fax through our airport shuttle details to the company so they didn't come and pick us up when we were leaving. They consistently put me off on any of my requests asking me to come back later. They were good enough to pay for a taxi to the airport though. Great place to stay but dont expect too much from the reception staff!!
