can't find any fault in our stay. They have everything I could ask for a budget / backpacker type hostel. Very clean, and reasonably priced. Centrally located, the mini bus station as well as the markets are just a few minute's walk away.

We stayed here for 5 nights mid-March at the beginning of a month long trip. The staff could not have been more friendly, helpful or welcoming and made us feel very much at home, especially my 7 year old son. Nora in particular is lovely and her knowledge of the area and sites to see was brilliant, she answered all... More

The ladies at Lavender Lodge have gone above and beyond the call of duty. They were so helpful and welcoming. Any questions I had were answered quickly and accurately, and they never expressed any annoyance at the shear volume of questions! The dorms were comfortable and quiet, the bathrooms clean and close to the rooms. I would stay here again,... More

According... More
