    Great location in the city centre and walking distance to Suria. The apartment could actually fit 6-7 persons, with the extra sofa beds provided. The rest is standard JQ facility and layout. The unit faces the sea so you can view the sunset. Communication with the host is very good. Assisted us with fixing the WiFi set-up.

    perfect location, a few minutes walk from Gaya street. very quiet and peaceful location with an excellent view. very near the tourism center and the malls. everything else is a cheap grab taxi away. The pool is great. there is a kitchen so you can cook your own food. The internet is fast and AC is very strong. there are several 24/7 laundry shops on the ground floor. everything in this property is great. the host is very responsive and helpful. exceeded my expectations

    This hostel has a great location on the waterfront and a very welcoming atmosphere. I stayed in a private room which was really comfy and had a lovely sea view. There were lots of nice restaurants and bars on the waterfront to visit in the evening, and plenty of shops and a local market nearby. It was also very clean, the staff were friendly and despite being so central it was nice and quiet in the evening.
