I'm very happy to have been part of this hostel and its amazing team! From the very beginning, I felt truly welcomed. The facilities are excellent — we had a nice flat for volunteers and great shared spaces. The staff team was always kind, supportive, and understanding. Big thanks to Chang, Phillip, John, and everyone else who made sure we were well taken care of. Work hours were respected, and the housekeeping team was always available to help and teach whenever needed. I'd definitely love to come back again and enjoy this incredible city even more!
