I overall enjoyed my stay here. It's a friendly atmosphere with nice people working there. The kitchen definitely needs an upgrade or better maintenance as well as the laundry facility (washers and dryers). The only thing that really upsets me was seeing how the staff was being treated by the managers, despite them doing a phenomenal job as far as I and other guests could tell. That's probably the reason the staff is running away. I mean a staff girl was publicly defamed by this Ken guy.

Lovely stay! One of the cleanest common rooms/kitchens I’ve ever seen in a hostel. Great vibes all around and super friendly staff at check in. Would recommend!!!
