Location and price are strong draws - the showers, however, are not secure. There is a pitiful and semi-see-through frosted glass separating the single men and single woman's shower... Which, in addition to being revealing to one's also naked neighbour a mere foot away, is also easy to peep over and lacks a alarm string that is common among hostels for this very reason.

I booked a bed for first night and private room for 5 nights as a friend of mine would join me one after I arrived. I arrived at the hostel at 12 a.m. on 12 Oct 2025 and the lady at the front desk told me I had mistakenly booked a female-only room.

Staff are nice and helpful, standard hostel experience and well located, but bed bugs galore. Left after the first night, they did give me a refund for the other 3 nights I had and were polite about everything so I respect that.

THE HOSTEL HAS BEDBUGS AVOID! I stayed there just for one night on a private room (14) and I got rash all over my body and one other girl that stayed in the dorms got the same in her hands. It’s very dirty and it gives PRISON vibes! dirty and so depressing !!!! Don’t go there unless you are in the mood to deal with bedbugs later!!

Room had no TV or other entertainment. The shared bathrooms were fair cleanliness but were shared. The room was stuffy, hot, and hot with ac that barely worked. My bed was a little hard and uncomfortable, I surprisingly slept well despite being like sleeping on a rock. Staff were kind and accommodating. It was overall okay.
