Stayed at the Coffee Palace for over a month, didn't expect much after reading several reviews, but once I got there I enjoyed my time there. The dorms aren't too impressive but if you want to pay abit more they have ensuite carpetted 6 bed dorms on the top floor. Despite not being big on amenities in the dorms aslong... More

I loved this place.....i thought it was pretty clean and my room was pretty spacious...nice people and an easy place to make contact with others....Its not the right place if you want to chill but awesome if you want to do your own thing during the day and go out at night with some people.

Meant to stay 2 weeks ended up staying 3 months, met friends for life, we were like a family. If you like to party this is the place for you although my liver needs a rest now! More

It was horrible! It seems that there's no cleaning staff at all, the pillows as well as linen had severe dark stains, blood and urine in the washroom, it was just not possible to touch anything. The young man at the reception was always busy checking his facebook account, we were desperately waiting for the free pancakes and ended up... More
