Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Beds need to be changed, linen not clean.
Had a major skin breakout
The rooms were clean but cramped. Cheap accommodation, you get what you pay for. The kitchen and dining area is a shared facility, so cleanliness depends a lot on who else is staying in the hostel at the time. Location is good with bars and restaurants in walking distance
I stay 3 nights and enjoyed my stay.
The cleaning staff was very hard working and the staff was helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Satisfactory but could be better
The main dorm is above the common area/reception so it’s really noisy. It lack proper curtains and is very hot.
The installation of a fan and some proper curtains would improve the experience.
Good facilities otherwise
I could not sleep the whole night due to the flikering light in the room. It was nice to share the bathroom & toilet with other guest. I had to check out earlier due the uncomfortability. The room is so small and they have no blankets.
