Security was lacking, there was no additional check that you were a hostel guest after walking through the front door. The whole hostel needed a face lift. It was very dated and dingy. The room I stayed in was functional at best. The furniture was showing signs of being well used. The ensuite bathroom needed a deep clean. The shower was missing half of the sliding door which meant whenever someone showered the whole bathroom was soaked. Overall, not a pleasant stay.
