Great Hostel , very clean rooms , bathrooms and shower, the bathrooms and showers get cleaned 5 times a day which is excellent, my only gripe was the lack of privacy surrounding the beds there are no curtains to give that small bit of privacy which helps

Modern, secure and relatively clean property. Nice roof top area and spa, clean and well stocked kitchen. Bath towels included, charging port and light by the bed. All in all great property and would stay again, especially for the price point. Dorm room floor cleaning could happen more often in my opinion and the wifi wasnt always the greatest, but those were the only cons

Would stay again

Overall stay was fine. Nothing was over the top amazing, but also everything met my expectations. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Wifi was slow at times. Barely used any other facilities or participated in any events, just used it as a place to sleep. Was a little loud on Friday night, but expected since it was the weekend.
