This hostel doesn't provide a good experience for its guests. First, the individual room is super small, smells cigarettes, and its tv is terrible (from 2 decades ago). It is definitely a very expensive place for what it provides. I went to other hostels, where I paid less and had much more. If you can go to another place, do this favour to yourself.

Just very uninviting, mild in the bathroom, room light didn’t work as when we arrived at night we couldn’t see anything, we’re meant to be staying an extra night but decided sleeping at the airport was a better option
