Great location, staff are very helpful. You pay for what you get, I really enjoyed having a private and extended for multiple nights. But there are cold showers and it’s not a socialising space. Still clean, good laundry service and super easy to get to.

Staff were incredibly rude and made us feel as though we didn’t belong there. Rooms were boiling not as the fan did not work and there was no AC.

Absolute worst hostel I’ve stayed in…nothing good about it. The staff is rude , the showers are cold and flooded. No toilet paper. The rooms are tiny and get hot. The worst part is if the hostel doesn’t fill up with tourist they let homeless people sleep in the dorms. They let one man in our dorm who smelled absolutely horrible. The smell was so bad, my clean laundry in my bag turned foul. Only a matter of time before Hostelworld picks up on this and removes them from the platform.
