Positive: This is a very well situated hostel if you're traveling by bus. Many food options around. The shared bathrooms were always clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The portable heater in the room meant it never got too cold. I think what made this place even better for me was the friendly, hospitable, and approachable manner of the East Indian manager.
Negative: Nothing
