Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: For most of the stuff i would have given even 10 stars. Definitely the staff, also the rooms are so clean so welcoming, everything looks new and very nice breakfast. Really feels like a homestay more than a hostel. Everything else is so thought after. Also the view from the top is amazing.
Negative: Things that are missing in my opinion: Fan/AC in the dorms Soap to wash hands in the bathroom
