    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The value for money was great and the room was comfortable and clean. The location was very convenient, with transportation centers and a shopping mall nearby.

    The breakfast selection could be improved with more space in the common room.

    We had such a great time staying at Cinnamon Sally Backpackers. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, making it easy to meet new people and share travel stories. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The location was convenient, close to the international bus station. We also loved the fact that they had a breakfast and coffee/tea facilities available. It was a nice touch to have beer on tap and cold drinks in the fridge for those evenings when we just wanted to relax at the hostel. we had a fantastic experience.

    The only minor issues we encountered were the difficulty in finding the hostel entrance and the limited number of toilets and kitchen space. It would be helpful if they improved signage to make it easier to locate the entrance.

    We had a fantastic stay at Cinnamon Sally's! the location is perfect, with easy access to the airport, train, and bus stations. the old town is just a short walk away, and there are also convenient transportation options like Bolt scooters and taxis. the hostel itself is cozy and comfortable, with a common room and kitchen that are great for socializing with other guests. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with plenty of tips and organizing daily activities. Our room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast had a good variety of options. we felt like we were part of the Cinnamon Sally's family during our stay. Cons: Everything was spot on! 👌.

    I recently stayed at Cinnamon Sally and had an amazing time. As a solo traveler, I found the fantastic staff to be very helpful and always available. They engaged everyone and organized activities in the common area, which was perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The location between the old town and train/bus stations was convenient, and the rooms facing away from the main streets were quiet. The comfortable and clean rooms provided a great place to unwind after exploring the city.

    Would be happy to recommend this hostel.

    Superb hospitality from friendly and helpful staff

    Comfy beds and big lockers. Sufficient number of bathroom facilities with separate shower rooms. - Simple but nice breakfast included, with waffles and fresh coffee. - Very chill common area for socializing and relaxing. - Considerate staff ensuring quiet nights. - Central location near places of interest. - Generous check-out time

    Felt fine, no reason to complain

    The value for money at this hostel was excellent, and the room was clean and well-maintained. The location was perfect, close to the train station and within walking distance of the old town. The staff were friendly and made me feel at home, especially Tom were pretty good to ensure a great stay. The bathrooms and toilets were clean, and the common area was a great place to hang out.

    The only small improvement I suggest is to have a vegan breakfast option available. Everything else was overshadowed by the great experience.

    The hostel has recently undergone renovations and the facilities are top-notch. the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure you have a great time during your stay. the hostel also offers planned activities, making it easy to socialize and meet new people.

    Due to its location near the train station and a major road, it can get a little noisy at night, which may make it difficult for light sleepers to get a good night's rest. the convenient location outweighs the noise factor, especially for those looking to take day trips from the nearby station.

    Breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff members were very helpful and polite, providing assistance whenever needed. The location was excellent, with easy access to transportation centers, shopping malls, and the city's main attractions.

    The common area and breakfast area were often overcrowded and small, making it difficult to find a seat and enjoy meals. The noise from the street could be disturbing, especially if your room was facing it.

    I got great value for my money at Cinnamon Sally Backpackers. The room was comfortable and cozy, with the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on in a hostel. The location was perfect, being close to both the train and bus stations, making it super convenient for getting around. The staff treated me with utmost friendliness and made sure I had everything I needed for a great stay.

    The morning meal could be improved by ensuring that all guests have fair access to the breakfast options. It would be better if the waffles were served in a way that everyone had an equal opportunity to enjoy them, rather than a rush to grab them before they ran out.

    I had a fantastic experience at this hostel! the staff was incredibly kind and gave us recommendations on where to go in the city. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for both the bus and train stations. I loved the social atmosphere, with opportunities to meet interesting people from all over the world. the breakfast was delicious and the free coffee and tea all day were a great bonus. I also appreciated the option to buy cold drinks from the hostel instead of having to leave for a drink.

    A feel-good hostel with cool vibes and helpful staff. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like.

    The staff at the hostel were fantastic and always available to help with any questions or information needed. They organized activities in the common area, which was great for meeting fellow travelers. the location of the hostel was very convenient, situated between the old town and the train/bus stations. This made it easy to explore the city and also to access transportation. the rooms were quiet, facing away from the main streets, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.

    The kitchen was quite small, making it a bit challenging for more than a couple of people to use it at the same time. although the bed sheets were clean, the pillow had a slight smell of sweat.
