The reception was friendly and check-in was quick. The toilets were clean regularly. The daily activities are cool and gives opportunity for those who are solo-travelling to meet new friends. The kitchen was a little small for the number of guests staying at the hostel. Overall, it is still a cozy place.

Thanks for your review. To ensure rooms are cleaned daily. Our housekeepers enter the rooms from 10 am to 2 pm. First to make beds, service rooms and then the supervisor checks rooms to ensure high standards. If you do not like disruptions best to book a private room rather than dorm room. Thanks again

The staff was fine, but they didn’t provide me with sheets, one of the girls told me “don’t leave your things on the floor because we have a rat here”. Also the showers in my level were out of order so I had to go to the ones in another level which was annoying. I don’t recommend this hostel at all.

Too hot, too noisy. Of a 9-night booking I only stayed one night. Tried to get 2 nights refunded, staff said I have to contact Expedia. I did contact Expedia, it took them over a day to get someone on the phone, just to have them say they refuse a refund. It's not a lot of money that I lost, but the service is horrible! DO NOT STAY THERE!

Overall ok
I have booked a dorm for 6 but I was upgrated to a 4 dorm. :) The hostel is really big with many showers and toilets so I never had to wait. :) The room was nice with solid lockers but I am not sure if the bed sheet were clean. There was hair on my bed :( Sometimes I could smell food in the room coming from outside :( There was no free wifi in the room just in the common ares. :( The luggage room seems quite secure and has cameras :) On Hotels.com it said free breakfast but once at the hostel I was told there were just pancakes which is misleading :( Overall was ok and I had no issues.
