Was meant to stay 3 nights, only stayed 1. worst hostel so far. felt like a prison. rooms are tiny. was put in room with all guys. air con was too high so was freezing. beds right next to eachother and given no blanket. was given sheets on arrival and told to make our own beds. the hostel is right in the middle of the busy strip so if you want chilled vibes this is not the hostel for you but is close to everything.

Very nice building in a great location, the kitchen was very well equipped with 12 cooking stations & lots of utensils. Nice common areas as well as the TV Room and Kitchen. Stayed in a 10 bed dorm, wasn't the cleanest and no floor space thanks to the long termers clothes everywhere. Toilets on floor 1 never clean but used other floors bathrooms which were fine. Not a social atmosphere due to number of long term workers only talking with each other.
