I enjoyed my stay there. Everyone was friendly from the staff to the people staying there. Everything was walkable very nice place to walk things to do inside and outside. There’s a theme every night so there was something to do if you run out of ideas. I wouldn’t mind staying there again.

This is a hostel located in a park, so nicely situated. Being a hostel it's very bare bones -- nothing fancy at all. Beds were moderately comfortable. Staff seems very helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

While the hotel itself was nice and our stay could have been enjoyable, our experience was completely ruined by the unprofessional behavior of the receptionist, specifically the Asian lady at the front desk. She treated us with unnecessary rudeness and disrespect throughout our stay. Without clear explanation, she charged us extra fees and still made unreasonable demands — including asking us to remove our belongings from the room, even after we had paid the extra amount she insisted on. Her attitude was unwelcoming and dismissive, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We expected much better service from a place like this. Unfortunately, because of her poor conduct, I cannot recommend this hotel to others.

Very few parking Lots and parking in general is very expensive. You couldn‘t open the windows in the private 6-Bedroom and the Air-Condition didn‘t work so the air was very bad. The Room is very small with zero space for any cloth. There was mold and dirt on the windows. No soap or towels in the room.

I was on the top of 3 bunk beds, it is impossible to get up there first of all and I brought my stuff up like I usually do. It was a real struggle. It was also a million degrees in there. I was waking up every 5 minutes in my own sweat and didn’t sleep much at all really. Plus everyone in my room was quite noisy until 5 am and I had to be up at 6 am for a flight so there was next to no sleeping. I had a better sleep at the airport in wooden chairs. I’ve stayed at a generator before it and was great. Just make sure to get the beds at the bottom. Not bunk beds.
