Decent for a cheap night stay but very loud and weird vibes, staff were super helpful and friendly and the place seemed as clean as it could be considering some extremely messy people in there

Vete good value! Maybe the best bed/ hostel room I’ve stayed in! Less of a community / social hostel but very nice rooms. Perfect for a one or two night stay while traveling around. Would recommend!
