  • I land by 2310hrs so will reach the hostel only by 0030hrs. Will that be ok?

    Good morning, thank you for getting in touch with us. unfortunately we don't have 24/7 reception, it closes at 2300hrs and will re open at 0800 the next day. we would advise for you to seek accommodation elsewhere for that night.
