The room is quite small, just have a small table, low twin bed and simple bathroom. While waiting for checking in, we used the shared bathroom of hostel, but it's not really comfort. The smell in our room is bad also, full of smoking smell that every time we entered the room, we had to open the door for a while, since can't breath with that smell in the room.
Location is quite good, near local market, near a famous breakfast restaurant that can walk 2 mins to there. Not complain much about the hostel since the price is very cheap. As we usually said you get what you pay for.

“We slept there for a few days. It was cheap and alright but we were happy to leave.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 3 nights
We had three rooms that were completely different. Each room had its own distinct weird smell (moldy/toilety/old air). One room was just a mattress and an AC, no bathroom, no window, no space, funky smell. The public bathroom was scary. The other two rooms had their own bathrooms while one of them was also kinda scary looking and the ventilation didn't work. The other one was okay but had lots of little flies. The sheets were washed but stained. I wouldn't say, that everything was overly dirty but all in all it was far from what we anticipated from the pictures. We kinda just went there to sleep. It's really no place for hanging out.
The area is very close to the center. There's a nice tea house on the street for a great breakfast. The hostel has a balcony that you can sit on. The staff was alright.

It was grimey, unclean and damp. The bed was 2 mattresses on the floor with stained sheets and the room was full of mosquitoes. There was an ensuite which was without a doubt the worst I’ve been in. Everything stank. This isn’t something that can be fixed with a lick of paint and some bleach. The place needs knocking down and starting from scratch. The walls are paperthin and the breakfast is an egg on toast. Again, don’t stay here. It is this cheap for a reason.
The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately that is the only positive we can offer. Do not stay here, spend the extra $2 and get somewhere that is at least clean.

The room has no window, that's why the smell in the room is bad and no air can come in the room. There is nothing to put clothes, just a mattress. Some hooks would be awesome. Bathroom needs maintenance.
The people working there are really, really nice. The breakfast on the balcony is awesome. Hostel ist quite central in the city. If you come from the airport, you can take the airport bus to the city centre and walk to the hostel. Free water.

The hostel does not look like as pretty as it appears in the pictures. It is quite old and crispy. At the time of our visit improvement works were taking place and the overall structure was very noisy from early morning onwards. We arrived in the night and there was no water in the all hostel until the morning after.

The beds were mattresses on the floor and the blankets were woolen so they itched. They also made lots of lint that ended up all over your clothes. The room we had was right next to the reception and was very noisy especially early in the morning. The night staff slept against our bedroom wall at night and snores loudly all night. The toilet leaked and there were lots of drain flies in the bathroom. The corridor smells very strongly of cat urine.
The location is close to amenities and landmarks such as the Secretariat. The breakfast was good but the same every day. The shower was warm. The lighting was also good with a few different options. The AC worked well but could blow through the thin wool blankets.
