Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a hostel for students and young people. Staff are also very young and have no clue. They didnt have the room I booked, and gave me a tiny “room” with zero floor space, my original room “had people in it” asked for a refund immediately.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026
