Huge hostel

It's a big hostel. The room was nice but lack of storage space. The kitchen and lounge were spacious but pretty crowed all the time. If you prefer quiet place, probably here is not for you. But overall here is nice and reasonable price.

Okay

The staff was really great and the location was really good. But the room was hot and smelled sweat. It also felt very old and outdated. The facilities needs to be cleaned.
