    Spacious room. Curtains for the lower beds. Cozy atmosphere. Few types of tea available for the guests for free of charge. IKEA sharks as parts of decoration (joking but it was cute). Comfy armchairs in the common area. In general it was the best hostel during our 2 weeks trip around the island. Very good value for money.

    I had a wonderful experience while staying with Sleeping boot hostel. First of all when I entered Penny & James welcomed me with a smile. Both of them were always helpful to suggest the things to do around & chatting. Bed was quite comfortable with good Aircon in this humid weather. Washroom was super clean equipped with shower gel & shampoo. They also have nice common area space to sit with the kitchen. Location is good just 9 minutes walking from the train station. I can recommend staying here to all backpackers.
