It was cheap. Staff very rude and unwelcoming, male dorm didnt have AC, long term local guests playing music on phone late at night, not a social hostel at all. One of my worst hostel stays ever, seek elsewhere

It looks good. I arrived, made a reservation, and they couldn’t check me in, they didn’t even warn me, I wasted time, so I lowered a couple of points.

It was a phenomenal stay. Very quiet and the best sleep in a month. Highly recommend!

I found the place a great deal if you’re a woman; the female floor was almost empty, so I practically had the room and bathroom to myself for almost a week at a very low price. The outdoor common area is nice for chilling, the Wi‑Fi is solid, and the washing machine is free. On the downside, the locals live there long term, so don’t expect an international vibe or other travelers. The kitchen is packed with their stuff and busy most of the time, making it feel a bit cramped for the number of people. Cleaning could be better – the toilet was sometimes disgusting – and communication with staff can be hard since they don’t speak English and are sometimes not very friendly.
