I liked this hostel. It's a beautiful building, with clean bathrooms and nice rooms. What I noticed about the area though was that it had quite a lot of creepy and/or homeless people walking around. This is not a party hostel, and it can be a bit boring.

I loved this hostel. It was in a beautiful colonial style building, which looked more like a guesthouse than a hostel. The communal areas are gorgeous — loads of rooms and comfy seats. The rooms are smallish but very light and airy and colorful. We had a balcony. The pool is great if it ever gets hot enough to swim and there are nice lawns. The atmosphere is friendly, as are the staff. It is in an out-of-the-way place, but if you don't like staying in cities Mount Eden is a good alternative. It's about a ten-minute walk to shops and restaurants, or a thirty-minute walk into the city center. It's ideal if you have a car.
