Seems more expensive than it is

10.0

Facility-wise, zLife is probably the best hostel I've stayed at. I stayed in the 4-bed dorm and we had a big, well-equipped bathroom to ourselves, a nice view and comfortable beds. Be warned that it's warm (even in their winter) and sleeping on the top bunk was hard going for the others in my dorm, as there was only a floor fan. Breakfast was a bit slow (but that's typical) and you can use the kitchen facilities yourself if you like. Location was absolutely ideal and it was a great bargain for a very expensive part of town. Would highly recommend.

Sehr zentral gelegene Unterkunft

Ich habe eine Woche im Hostel gewohnt. Super sauber, günstig, tolle Badezimmer und super zentral gelegen. Alles in Stonetown ist wenige gehminuten Entfernt. Von Anfang bis Ende hatte ich einen tollen Aufenthalt!
