This hostel has a nice outdoor area with a pool and seating but falls short in terms of room quality and cleanliness. While it's conveniently located near restaurants and supermarkets, the facilities, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, leave much to be desired. Overall, it's decent for a short stay but not ideal for a longer visit.

Rooms

The rooms are mediocre, and the fans aren't very effective; air conditioning is recommended due to the humidity.

My stay at the hostel was mostly positive. The location is fantastic, very close to transit options and cultural attractions, but noise was a significant downside during my visit. The staff were cheerful and the rooftop pool was a nice perk. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom and the overall room comfort left something to be desired.

Rooms

The private room was spacious enough for a short stay, but the double room I saw later was quite tiny and the bed uncomfortable.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hostel. While the rooftop terrace offered stunning views of the city, the cleanliness and kitchen facilities left much to be desired. The rooms were okay but the air conditioning made it uncomfortably cold, and I struggled with the inadequate bathroom situation. The staff was nice, but there is significant room for improvement, given the price I paid.

The rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering a perfect view of the city and sunsets, but overall, the facilities need significant updates.

I had a mixed experience at the hostel. On one hand, the spacious common areas and the bar's affordable prices were highlights. However, the thin walls and issues with noise from other guests really affected my stay, especially during the night. I was also disappointed with the staff's handling of my booking and the cleanliness of the bathrooms which could be better. Overall, while it offers some great amenities, it may not be the best choice for those seeking peace and quiet.

Rooms
The rooms are pretty basic and lack soundproofing, which led to disrupted sleep due to noise from other guests. Rating: 6
Service
The service was inconsistent; while some staff were friendly, my experience with the booking issue was frustrating and unhelpful. Rating: 4

The bar offered affordable drinks, which was great for winding down after a long day. Rating: 8
Facilities
The facilities are enjoyable with a pool, movie room, and hammocks, but the cleanliness of the bathrooms was concerning. Rating: 6
