Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were nice and helpful. Beds were cheap foam mattresses on slats that you could feel when you slept and moved. It felt very unsafe on the top bunk. There didn't feel like there were enough showers and toilets for the number of beds. Booked for 2 nights and left after only 1.

Cheap hostel, but rooms are so small!! Tips: if you are 2 you'd better to take a room for two which costs a few dollars more compared to a dormitory of 6 people who is 16 metres squared !!

Not the best

Check in person was absent when i went to check in, had to wait 15 minutes for him to return; same with checkout. Bad luck; but a sign should be left or something. Room smelt like noodles, rude guests, grotty rooms. Grotty bathrooms and hallways; needs better upkeep.
