DO AUTOMATICALLY LEAVE THE LAMPS ON FOR EMPTY BEDS OR NEW GUESTS. 3 of 4 nights I stayed they get left on all night or the guest comes to bed so drunk they don’t turn them off. The second floor room I stayed in had the creakiest door I’ve ever heard. So when girls are coming in and out 43 times in 1 hour at midnight, it’s loud. Creaky floors too.

the smell throughout the room was off, it stuck to my clothes and noone in the return flight wanted to sit next to me, food options were poor and staff could be more friendly, its more like a jail i would say

I didn't know that the room was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator. For me, who doesn't have a good knee, the 4th floor without an elevator was a little painful, so I wanted to know in advance if possible. I'm going to take this opportunity to be careful.
Also, the edge of the bed frame was covered with dust. Then, the couple in the next room came back at 1:30 a.m. while talking normally, and it was annoying for a while.
I booked this property for my husband. He had an urgent matter to attend to and we chose it because it was close to where he needed to go and the price was attractive. He liked it but stated it might be for younger population that doesn’t mind being in a hostel. Overall it served the purpose. And staff were very friendly!
