HOOD Hostel

the hotel is located in the center. there was hot water

The room did not match the photos. The shower was dirty, there were cigarette butts on the balcony. The linen was torn and stained. There were stains on the walls. The tables were sticky. There were ants in the room. Breakfast was very poor: 1 cold fried egg, 1 toast with bad butter, 2 small pieces of watermelon and coffee. Although the hotel has a common area by the bar and on the roof, people were sitting near the rooms and it was noisy at night.

The staffs are super helpful.

The staff was very friendly and helpful:)

The hostel isn’t pretty clean…

Budget-friendly. Walking distance to malls, money changers and stalls.

One of the planks that served as dividing wall between beds came off and the staff never put it back up despite me telling them to. The bathroom was filthy.
