Janelle

Very hot and sweaty room. The ceiling fan was broken and there was a pedastool fan on far side of the room. After commenting about the excessive heat a second pedastool fan was added the next night. Staff were fine and the facilities were decent.

Shower upgrade
The showers needs an upgrade. The shower heads are loose and you have to hold them yourself. The same problem is to the toilet seat in one of the bathrooms.

Happy Place to Stay. Good Location
It was a fun place with good vibes. The staff were all very nice. The bathrooms were okay. The bed was very comfy and housekeeping was excellent. I missed having an individual light for the bed, but everything else was fine.

Nice hostel close to everything
It was good that there was a private shower and a bathroom in the room. I enjoyed my stay there, it was in a good location close to everything so it was easy to explore:) the only thing I didn’t like is that the house keeping staff was a male. I stayed in female only room and he comes quite early like 9am, most of us are sleeping or getting ready for sightseeing. He could at least come after the time of check out so there will be less people or if they have to do housekeeping in that early morning, they could assign a female to do it for female only room. Felt uncomfortable.
