Overall, if you're staying in the winter, ask them to turn on the heater before you check in, as it takes a long time to warm up the room. John, the long-term resident, is really great and helpful—he makes everyone feel at home. Thanks, John!

櫃檯人員解說的很清楚，房間與廚房也張貼很多使用規則！ 需要自行準備沐浴用品與毛巾 也可以花費租用毛巾，免費使用吹風機，轉接頭，熨斗（各需押金20） 廚房非常大，六個冰箱，搭儲藏櫃 廚房浴室每天中午11-12點會整理！很乾淨！若不乾淨是後面使用人的習慣問題 這旅館地點好，價格也合理

Shared bathroom was always very clean, kitchen was useful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great location, just had a bit of trouble getting them to send through details for late check in and the shower I used didn't heat up, but another one did.

I was woken continuously throughout the night by girls in my area and two were sleeping in one bed. I found a man passed out and asleep on a landing, who had spilt a can of alcohol on the carpet. I was quite disappointed with clientele last night.

This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring.
