Location is excellent, was able to store my luggage prior to check in, room was very clean

Had to queue for 40 minutes to check in despite having filled in all the information online prior to arrival. Lifts were out of order

"Solo para gente joven con bajos estándares"

4.0

Tiene muy buen ubicación, ciertamente excepcional para turistas.

Es muy sucio el lugar, todo el piso esta pegajoso todo el tiempo, el elevador no servía y es una grosería porque sus pisos son dobles, la ropa de cama se veía limpia pero fuera de eso todo estaba sucio todo el tiempo. Había una toalla afuera de mi cuarto que duró ahí toda la semana, hasta que les tuve que avisar. Que no limpian los dormitorios diario pero todos los pasillos y todo apesta.

"Good for a quick in and out to explore the city! But not for a longtime stay!"

Location! And luggage storage! Was a good place to stay for our first night as we landed at midnight! So it was alright!

Too compact! No elevator! Beds were not comfy!
