There's a hostel side and a hotel side, and the hostel side was kind of gross. I did not like that they didn't have a single full sized sink. Everything felt dirty, I never saw more than one cleaning lady handling all the rooms and bathroom and kitchen. The sheets and bedding were clean, the pillow was questionable. They do give you a towel, so that was nice. And the staff were really friendly and helpful. Overall though, I don't mind things not being perfectly clean, but I constantly felt like there was a small layer of grime over everything. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very lovely hotel/backpacker.
