The location is perfect, it's in the side block of the city - so everything is really easy to reach. The atmosphere is friendly, and the facilities are clean and comfortable, they're cleaning multiple times a day which was great to see compared to other hostels I went. The new rooms and bathrooms are really nice. I also stayed in a 16bed dorm for a week and was a little bit scared but it doesn’t felt like that - it was good. I love the curtains on the beds - they give u privacy. The staff is super helpful with local tips and u can book tours. Highly recommend this place!

There are renovations in one floor and the AC is working 24h, which is good in summer I think but in the rooms a little bit too much for me as a European which is using it rare.

Liam is the most friendly and kindest worker 😃 He knows what the service is, he is really appropriate person to hospitality work department.😆 Though you can feel the facility can have a little uncomfortable things, but Liam's welcome mood and his attitude covers such negative feeling. Sometimes, he can make a little cute mistake about reservation, but please don't care about it. If you stay here at least 3 days, you will understand what I'm saying

Comfortable mattress for a dorm bunk. Good natural light, X-Large locker, side bed curtain provides privacy. Central location, street noise not too bad. Cleanliness of room and in general is good.

Pillow poor quality. Lack of showers and toilets (more under construction). No shampoo or soap provided for shower. $20 key deposit not mentioned. Slight smell around bathrooms.

Besides the perfect location for easy transport, very welcoming and pleasant hostel. Staff were really friendly and happy to help us with any questions or issues we had. Reception always had someone on until shut for the night which made check in and issues easy to do and solve. The rooms were very spacious and always kept clean. The facilities were cleaned everyday and floors were dry nearly all of the time in the showers.

Nothing. Happy to come again

Everything! I did the check-in at night, and the receptionist (Romi) was soooo nice and accommodating. The same for the check-out, I did the early check out and this time Kim, was so lovely. Helped me out with some inquiries. Really a lovely team. And the facilities have been all remodeled, so the rooms are all new and beautiful

It was very central, and for the price, I was shocked at the location. You can easily walk to the museums, the botanical gardens or just walk down the roads and catch a train or bus somewhere else. Beds we comfy enough. I wish I had an extra pillow. I did not ask for a second one tho, so that is on me! They had looooads of activities and freebies every night. When I stayed they had movie night with popcorns and nacho chips and they also had pasta night. So it was great because I was travelling solo and had the chance to meet some people by going to the events. The staff were seriously amazing. They were super accommodating and respectful. They were funny and supper cheerful.

The size of the sink. That is it. I just think they were so small, washing my face meant making a mess of the floor. But it is a small bathroom and I don't think you can fit a bigger one.

I don't like the fact that I have to leave here sometime soon to go home 😊

**Rooms, Showers, and Toilets – A Pleasant Surprise!** First off, let's talk about the accommodations. Having heard they recently underwent renovations, my expectations were cautiously optimistic. However, I was blown away by the fresh, modern vibe of the rooms. Not only were they clean and comfortable, but the thoughtful design ensured that even with a full room, there was a sense of personal space.

The staff is really friendly and helped me with everything I needed. They’ve given me a free upgrade to a 4 bed dorm which I much appreciated after a long trip. The property has recently been renovated and has beautiful and modern showers. Beds have a curtain for extra privacy.

Nile is the kindest worker😊 If you feel bad with some workers, you guys need to find " Nile, Liam, Kim " They are appropriate people to Hospitality Department, you would see soon when you visit

( Someone wrote review like Riam and Kim became arrogant when the person stayed here long time, I haven't experienced it staying 3 weeks )
