Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The shared bathroom was smelly and the room was hot. The staff members were friendly but it took time to call them as they are short in staff atm. Slow communication on website messages.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
They did not replace bed linen. I found there are new blood stains in the sheets in the middle of the night. The blood mark looks very new and it did not look washed. This means they did not change bed linen in my room after another guest used the room

5/5 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I love how quiet it was as a backpackers/hostel. Impressed with the bed that was surprisingly comfortable. It was my first time sleeping in a room with strangers so it was an enjoyable, unforgettable event that I chose to have and I’m glad I chose the right place. Only the guy at the bottom moved a lot in his sleep, shaking the bed every time it woke me up every now and then.
