Good price, nice staff, Very trashy lobby, terrible area. Room was better than lobby, but the bathroom didn’t lock and you share the bathroom with other people. If you’re a single guy trying to save money, this place is great, but don’t bring your wife/girlfriend, or kids

Great for a hostel.

It was fine. I have never stayed in a hostile before so I didn’t really know what it would be like. There were no issues at all, though.
