Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good.
Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable).
But would definitely stay again.
I liked that property was walking distance to everything

Extended booking but was not given same room.Although i was told earlier it will be same room/bed.
No early checkin option have to wait for 03 hours in reception till 2pm for checkin.
Took 04 bed sharing toom but had lots of suffocation no ventilation and aircon wasn't working property at night.
Getting in and out of the rooms using the Goki app was pretty easy, staff at reception were really nice and helpful. The only complaint I have is the kitchen smelled so bad it permeated throughout the entire area outside it. I stayed on the 4th floor so I can’t speak for the other floors, but there were food items still in the fridges left unmoved for days/weeks at a time (I stayed for 2 weeks) and it was clear it probably hasnt been thoroughly cleaned/checked in a while. When dishes were washed and put away even by staff at the end of the night, there were still little grubs here and there on them. But housekeeping service and cleanliness of the entire place outside of that was pretty consistent. They cleaned the showers and trash every day, and fresh linens would be replaced from guests that were checked out. Everyone was really polite and helpful. Again, overall not bad.
The bathroom is too small and there are all other people’s item around there, also these hotel charge me surcharge fee before I arrived, I can pay at cash at the property. I won’t recommend anyone stay here

UNBEARABLY NOISY
Very vlean white sheets & matress protector.
Good ensuite.
Horribly uncomfortable pillow.
Very noisy eating area outdide the room.
Kitchen cooking smells into the room.
Zero enfircement of 10pm noise curfew.
In house music in Reception blaring past 1 0r 2 in the morning. Not sound-proofed ftom the rest of the hostel.
UNBEARABLY NOISY EVEN ON TOP FLOOR WITH
HIGHEST GRADE EAR PLUGS !
The pictures on the webside of the room I booked did not collide with reality!
It was not very clean.
The hostel was however very good if you want to meet new people. You get a free drink on the day of arrival to mingle with people.
I only stayed for one night and I would not have liked to stay more than maybe 3 nights there.
I forgot to take photos because I only stayed for 1 night.
Rooms small, stinky, absolutely disgusting smell. Very crowded, no privacy at all. Lounge area and kitchen smell like rotten corpses. People lying around, looking and smelling like they are living there permanently without showering. Mold, dusty airconditioning, wet walls. Way too loud music on the ground floor, not possible at all too speak to receptionists and annoying when sleeping. Only go here if you're looking for depression.
