“It was nice. I would stay again.”
The room was nice and clean. The bar was good. However the bathrooms need more care, because the shower was too hot and the place itself need some repairs.

Kind people and got central placement in the city. They did our laundry very nicely. It had a nice backpacker vibe, just frustrating that a lot of stuff was dirty or not working. Nice dorms and aircondition in the single/double rooms.

Cleanliness of facilities, especially shower, toilet and sink wasn't good and there weren't enough showers for all the guest since they had to share it. Also the room was just 4 walls with a big bed in it, nothing more.
