+super nice staff, nice hostel overall
−we we're put in the room right next to the gate, whenever people would leave or enter, the gate would slam shut very loudly so we woke up several times at night.

“Wouldn’t recommend for female travellers.”
+Pool looked good but was raining so I didn’t use it.
−Lock on door didn’t work, this is unacceptable as I am travelling solo so did not feel safe. No curtains on windows so people could see in to the room when I was sleeping, adding to the unease. There were street lights right outside so it was very bright in the room. Other guests were strange, I know the hostel cannot control this but I had a couple of strange encounters.

“Not worth the price”
−Stayed here and unfortunately can't recommend it. The shared toilets were not cleaned properly, and the mixed dormitory room had no storage at all, nowhere to put your things, no lights. The beds were poor quality too. What struck me most was the atmosphere: a lot of people seem to be staying there for months, which gave the whole place a strange, unwelcoming vibe, not what you'd expect from a hostel meant for travelers passing through. Overall, not worth the price.

+The space and variety of options to share with the housemates
−The roommates with bad behavior can use your bed when you don't be in the room and stay there all the night
