I was really looking forward to this stay, but it ended up being a bit below my expectations. So it was okay, ended up leaving earlier than I supposed to! The room was okay; a bit smelly at first, but not too bad. Needed to pay more for laundry + towel & their online payment charged me 10% more (eg. 400NAD more which quite a lot) due to the conversion/bank/whatever (which something that we can't do anything about it). But would be great if the hostel actually have a card reader/slider. I really appreciated that they had a heater though, since it was freezing! The staff were helpful, but I didn’t quite feel the warm, friendly vibe I usually experience at other hostels (from both the team and fellow travelers). Having traveled across other African countries, I’ve experienced incredible hospitality, so I guess that’s why this stay felt a little underwhelming in comparison.
