“Disappointing.”
+Great location and atmosphere in the communal areas is good
−Very disappointing experience - unacceptable cleanliness standards I stayed at this hostel for two weeks, and unfortunately, the cleanliness was absolutely appalling. The bathrooms were particularly bad. There was significant grime and dirt built up around the bottoms of doors, door frames and skirting boards, along with accumulated dust in areas that clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned for some time. There were regularly hairs stuck to surfaces and visible dirt and grime throughout the toilet and shower areas. One of the shower doors also didn’t close properly, which made using the facilities even more unpleasant. The bedrooms were not much better, with noticeable dust and dirt that suggested a lack of thorough cleaning. What disappointed me most was that these weren’t simply isolated instances of guests leaving a mess. Much of the dirt and grime appeared to be longstanding build-up that could have been addressed through proper, regular deep cleaning. Considering the price of approximately $400 per week for a bed in a shared four-person dormitory, I expected a significantly better standard of hygiene and maintenance. Overall, I found the experience extremely unpleasant. The hoste

+Amazing stay! The staff was incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with local tips. The facilities were top-notch, especially the fully equipped kitchen and the cozy common area which made it so easy to meet other travelers. Fast Wi-Fi and super clean bathrooms. Highly recommended!

“NOT THAT GOOD, but decent value for money for a short stay”
+👍 Shared space at group level is spacious, well designed, and relaxing ⭕ Restroom and shower facilities are clean, nice water temperature and pressure
−❌ The height of the lower bunk bed is extremely limited. It can be okay while you're awake. However, I kept bumpibg against the upper bed frame, and there isn't any protective cusioning applied for risk deduction. Quite terrible. ❌ Food consumption in the room is prohibited, but if you ask the staff to dissuade someone eating in the room, they leave it on read and ghost you.

“Uncomfortable/stinky bedroom, but great everything else”
+Centrally located, nice lounging area, clean common facilities
−My room stunk of feet and male BO so badly, it was disgusting. My bed was also uncomfortable because it had a huge bump in the middle.
