Nice garden, everyone is so welcoming, I wish we had a more time to try all burgers in the menu?
Some small details for rooms maybe makes much more cozy and comfortable. Like mirror?

A nice little spot tucked into a good neighborhood with beach access. Great breakfast and a nice restaurant area with a chill vibe for relaxing, along with decent rooms. Excellent staff who are there to help.
Some nights, the bar next door plays loud music (loud bass!) until late.

The location was best, in the city close to everything. The facility is cute and comfy with lots of socializing opportunities. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are resident cats that are friendly and made it homey for me. The breakfast included is nice.
It can be loud at times with a party atmosphere in the evenings and traffic on the street audible. I had to ask for a towel and bed cover which is annoying. The food is too touristy. For the shared bathrooms, would have been nice to see frequent maintenance.

I love the vibe there and the place is beautiful. Each time i am going i meet incredible people. Staff is nice & Food is really good. I would recomend the 3 or 5 bed rooms they are lovely.
Bathrooms are not quite clean. The window in the dorm has no curtain. Only 6 Lockers in a 10 bed dorm. Breakfast time is way too early.

The breakfast is fairly limited. but tasty
There was a lot of noise at night, probably from a neighbouring bar rather than the property itself

The lounge/bar area is very nice, and all in all Slow Leopard is a cozy place. People made my stay especially great, the guests and the staff! Special thanks to staff’s Victor.
The water was off twice in a row on two mornings. They fixed it relatively quickly. The breakfast was not that big/special.
