The hostel has very good facilities and amenities, the staff is very friendly, they have a restaurant with very reasonable prices, and the rooms are clean. Despite being conveniently located near the train and bus station, the surrounding area is noisy, with many brothels and drug use, although it's not dangerous.

The hostel was clean, the staff was friendly, and I had a nice interaction with other travelers there. The location, though conveniently close to the main train station, is the red light district and gets quite dirty on Saturday night. But I, a man, nevertheless felt safe walking to and from the hostel even at night.

A decent seat, and excellent customer service !

Had a glitch with an online payment, and was accidentally over-charged. The manager was quick to look into it, and fixed it before I checked out in the morning. Excellent customer service ! Thanks to all for the good stay.
