Loved staying there. The only thing that can be improved is the cleanliness of toilets-but that's mainly because of inconsiderate guests.Loved staying there. The only thing that can be improved is the cleanliness of toilets-but that's mainly because of inconsiderate guests....Close

Localtion is PERFECT but I found its badely maintained with poor service. Price for a hostel room with cob webs and spiders is really high. I would not go again to stay at this hostel and reccommend the same. Localtion is PERFECT but I found its badely maintained with poor service.
