This place advertises 12-bed dorms, but in fact it is a 36-bed room with curtains separating every 12 beds. You sleep with 35 other guests in the same room, which makes it hard to get some rest. The beds and lockers are noisy. The toilet is in the shower, the floor in there is wet and dirty and no shoes allowed inside, so you're guaranteed to have wet dirty trousers. Sheets are too small so you end up lying on the sweaty bed. Internet there is bad, it's not even Skype capable. Staff is friendly.

Owner Comment (Show)
hihi, tks for ur feedback, we would like to clarify that 1. it's a New concept to seperate by drapes for a comfy sensation instead of hard wall, and is already stated in hostel description. 2. toilet & shower to be seperated , believe is personal preference. 3. our bed sheet is DEFINATELY big enough to cover the entire mattress. 4. shoes not allowed is for higher level of Hygiene 5. we will never offer wet beds to our guest. 6. other guest have been smooth with skype 7. noise level - 12 person in a dorm , or regardless the number of guest, as long as it is a DORM, there will definately be noises. hope u understand the HOSTEL CULTURE as explained above and what you have sign up for is a hostel, not a hotel :)

The sleeping room is a huge warehouse-style room with only large sheets separating different "rooms" from one another. If any one person in the hostel has a cough or is a bad snorer, it disturbs everyone. Otherwise, the place is very nice. Elaine is super friendly and (unrelated) a total babe. I'd stay here in a pinch, but I stayed in other places in the same neighborhood that offer much more for the same price or less.
