Francoise, her cooking, and her willingness to chat. The view met all expectations. Brilliant!. This is no doubt due to ignorance of the area, but the arrival was unsettling to say the least. The lane that the hostel is in doesn’t have a sign on the door, there’s no visual communication to provide you with confidence that you’re in the right place. The hostel is on the 12th floor, not the 11th, and you only see the sign once you’re up there, but man, was it nerve wracking in the way up. It all disappeared though when the door opened. The place is spotless, the view is stupendous. The kitchen and living quarters has to be up there with the best I’ve ever seen for a hostel, especially with that view. You also get the top class hospitality treatment from the staff, they’ll cook you breakfast, order you dinner, make you tea … just make sure you contribute back and help out with the dishes. Basic hostel etiquette. So it balanced itself out. If they could put up some signage to help provide confidence to ignorant and prejudiced riddled westerners, outside and perhaps on the lane itself, then this would be a 5 star rating
