Good location, but that's the only positive. Check-in was a disaster: incomplete access instructions left me locked out until a neighbour helped. The receptionist was nice but gave zero info about the facilities. The room smelled weird. The door won't lock, and the locker is useless (even my own padlock didn't secure it). Sheets were old and dirty with hairs. The shower was the worst part—completely blocked, flooding the floor with ankle-deep water full of hair. Unhygienic, insecure, and poor

I don't know how this was so highly rated, the room door was hard/impossible to close so the door was unlocked most times, there were only 2 toilets and showers for all guests, and the aircon was lousy and hardly did anything. the hostel felt cold and sterile in atmosphere even the kitchen was kind of nast with expired open food in the fridge. location was fine, staff was kind although the exclusive availability of them from 9am-9pm was frustrating. All in all would not book again

The location was very good, in the heart of the city, all the major attraction are at close proximity. The staff was very kind, the whole place was well taken care of i could only recommend.
