It's a hostel and you're not paying for anything fancy. What you get here is basic but the important things that matter are all there and done really well. Great bedding, fab shower pressure, and really lovely staff to top off the experiance. If you're looking for great quality no frills at a fantastic price, this is the place.

It had the potential to be the best option for the

The check-in process took about an hour, and the line was obstructing other guests as they entered the building. The bed was firm, but it was clean. However, the shower door does not seal completely, leaving about a one-inch gap. As a result, when I take a shower, the floor ends up messy and wet.

Looks great was not worth it.

Was meant to be busy great hotel for solo travel- my friend told me about it. I arrived at 6pm and it was very quiet. I went to microwave food and there was a cockroach near the microwave (single but still disgusting as were all the dishes so this put me off going breakfast). There were very young boys on the roof looked about 12? I went out at 9pm as still dead people in the lift said the same, came back at 11pm and the front bar area was full but with couples it was not bustley just busy and back bar had 4 people in so I showered. The toilet in the room didn’t lock (as a woman who needed it to lock) I told reception and they said there were communal showers and toilet. There was one toilet (seemed like mens as no bin and only men using the 3 showers on that floor that were “communal”) I really wasn’t impressed with my stay. The shower was good in the room but there was a slat loose in the ceiling which made me feel uncomfortable as if someone could look through it? Could have stayed 4 nights very glad I only stayed one as it’s far away and really did not meet expectations. I’ve been travelling for 4 weeks to many countries this looks the best but really is not.
