The dorm was very clean, the bed comfortable and the room looked nice. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also liked the option of having breakfast in the Shoki Shoki Guest House close by. Breakfast there was fantastic! The dorm I stayed in had two big fans and an AC. Also the location right in the old part of Stonetown was great.
