Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Enjoyed the breakfast, it was a hearty meal. The concept of a private sleeping space/area in a hostel environment is particularly appealing (and a novel concept). The receptionist on duty (Seif) was most helpful in facilitating expedient transport when I required it.
