눉I saw that some items were slightly washed by guests to make them used by New guests. It was asked by the staff to do so. I believe that this is not hygienic and every item should be washed by washing machine and only by the staff, instead of careless guests.
눇Location and front desk ladies were perfect.

“Totally confused staff”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We arrived at 1 pm in the hotel. then we had to wait until 3 pm in the lobby to get the room. no drinks were offered, lockers cost 6$. at 3 pm we had to wait for another half an hour to get the keycard since there so many people waited in the lobby. We met a guy who told us that he wanted to extend for one night and he had to leave the room at 11.am and was only allowed to go back to the room after 3 pm. When we finally got the key, the room was not cleaed. we asked the cleaning lady to do it and she did it in 10 minutes. Which means the room was not clean afterwards. The table was still sticky and there were breadcrumbs on the floor. Since we travelled overnight we went to bed early. at 11pm 2 people came into our room and said it was theirs. Then the lady from the receprion told us we had to leave the room. She became quite loud. I had to give her my phone with the bookig confirmation and my passport (!). She came back and excused for the mistake, we were booked on another room.

“Clean and good location; Very rude staff”
- • Solo traveler
- • Single 6-bed Deluxe Female Dorm
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The woman who answered the phone when I originally called and who checked me in was SO rude and brash. Did she forget she has a customer service job? I was so upset after speaking to her that I looked for alternatives to this hostel right up to my deadline to cancel at 4pm but ultimately had to stick to this hostel because it was so late. Since I had to wait til 3pm to check in (they don't check you in earlier than that no matter what)... I sat in the hostel lounge where I could hear her interactions with other customers (including ones who don't speak English well, which sucked for them) on the phone and in person. How she spoke to me wasn't any different than with other customers. Just hope you don't have Ayeisha helping you out. The other staff members were definitely better to talk to including the gentleman who helped me check in at 3pm.
눇It's pretty standard - clean bed, great breakfast, lots of international people moving in and out. Best part is the large lounge with different areas so if people are loud, you can move to another room on the floor. Wifi works everywhere and is fast.
