4/10 Fair

The twin room was next to the kitchen where people came in and had very loud concersations until 2.30am and the first people in the morning arrived at 6.30am. The only windows where to the kitchen and the hallway and there was no fresh air. Over all too hot and too noisy to get enough sleep.

Bed was very uncomfortable, but the black curtain to make it private and dark was a nice idea.

Fab hostel near Tahuna Beaxh
Lovely place to stay with friendly staff. Great airport drop off service. Good Thai restaurant nearby for takeout. Beach is a short walk away. Bed was comfy. No external windows in the private queen bed room I was in, but a fan was provided. I’d stay here again :)

Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are clean, comfortable with good beds and access to electricity and wifi. The showers and toilets are clean and well lit. Communal areas are also good. Highly recommended overall.

1 yön pikavisiitti matkalla Abel tasmaniin
Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Ei pöytää huoneessa (2 hengen huone) johon laskea tavaroita. Melko värikkäät maalaukset joka paikassa seinillä. Samassa rakennuksessa baari jossa dj soitti musiikkia n klo 23 asti. Ei ilmastointia.

Yleisen epäsiisteyden takia vaihdoimme yöpymispaikkaa. Paikka ei ollut meille sopiva, mutta varmasti tunnelmaltaan jollekin muulle hyvä!

무난한 숙소
저렴한 가격에 주방시설이 잘 되어있고 리빙룸도 여유있다. 하지만 2인실이 너무 좁고 창문이나 에어컨이 없어 밤새 더위에 시달렸다.

Near the beach and easy to find. Lots of parking space right on the other side of the road.
