the staff was really wonderful: they were very friendly and helped us with all our questions as good as they could! Although most of the guests were youngsters, we also felt at home as a family with three young kids.

Andrew and Adrian are the best hosts ever! They really made us feel at home in their hostel. The name HomePlus is very apropos! Andrew actually picked my friend and I up from the train station after a mixup with getting a driver and such at 11PM. We really appreciate everything!

People there are very helpful and keen to attend your questions and enquires. Although the place is a bit dark, it has a very good environment. Free Internet is a plus. Safety is quite alright as you get a number key to the street access and to enter the hostel, and a key to a safe of good size for your lugagge. The kitchen is well equipped. In a nutshell, you get good value for your money and I strongly recommend it.close
