Not sure why anyone would stay here. The cost of a dorm bed is comparable to a beautiful AirBnB in the surrounding suburbs that have everything you need. Not safe to walk around the area outside a narrow strip on the street of the main door. Music playing at bars until 2am. Half the showers didn't work. Staff were more preoccupied amongst themselves that looking into guests. I scheduled for 5 nights and left after 1, no reply to my email inquiring about a refund for lost days.

The staff there are really helpful and concerned about security in the area, providing information on where we should not go and how we can get around. They provide various tours that are hard to get around on their own. It is nice to have a supermarket in walking distance. The place is clean as well. They also provide basic breakfast(bread, eggs, fruit etc..), though I wish to have coffee.

An exceptionally affordable place to stay however it lies in a very dodgy area.
Our airport transfer, tour guide and several taxi drivers questioned why we were staying in this area.
A mugger attempted to steal our bags within 30 seconds of arriving at the hostel, directly in front of the door, from our car.
We were warned we shouldn't walk around at night, so couldn't walk to the restaurants on the same street.
The hostel doesn't serve food but you can get delivery / use uber to go to dinner.
