Good location, cheap stay, hostel
The rooms were clean but cramped. Cheap accommodation, you get what you pay for. The kitchen and dining area is a shared facility, so cleanliness depends a lot on who else is staying in the hostel at the time. Location is good with bars and restaurants in walking distance

Satisfactory but could be better
The main dorm is above the common area/reception so it’s really noisy. It lack proper curtains and is very hot. The installation of a fan and some proper curtains would improve the experience. Good facilities otherwise

not suitable to sleep people
I could not sleep the whole night due to the flikering light in the room. It was nice to share the bathroom & toilet with other guest. I had to check out earlier due the uncomfortability. The room is so small and they have no blankets.
