    Arriving late at night, I was worried about being turned away like some other guests, but the staff at Yakumama were welcoming and accommodating. Despite the language barrier, they made sure I had a place to rest and drop off my bags until morning. The dorm rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas provided a cozy atmosphere to relax. The breakfast options were simple but satisfying, and the hostel offered a good selection of DVDs for entertainment. The friendly staff and social environment made it easy to connect with other travelers. I had a positive experience at Yakumama and would recommend it to others.

    The location of the hostel is convenient, with nearby options for alternative accommodations and easy access to public transportation. the shared bathrooms are generally kept clean, and the breakfast, although simple, is sufficient for the price. the staff is friendly and offers helpful advice.

    The hostel seems to have issues with organization, as seen in the case of misplaced reservations. Guests might need to double-check their bookings to avoid any inconvenience.
