The person at the desk was friendly and helpful, but he recommended the upstairs restaurant, which ended up being closed. I found this out by taking the elevator upstairs and being met with total darkness. The hall to my room was dark when I was trying to find my room, as well. Otherwise, it was an acceptable place to spend one night.

Ok for the price. It was just loud during my stay and bunk beds did not have curtains. Location is close to food and airport. Front desk was very friendly and helpful.

"Not a great experience "

6.0

Flight arrived at 10pm, requested transportation 1 month prior from the airport with flight details. Got a message from the hostel the morning I was to arrive that they couldn't provide a shuttle. That was the only reason I booked this place. Staff was OK, by the time I finally got an Uber, it was well after 11pm and I had a shuttle picking me up at 5am, so wasn't there long, no storage for your bags, so I was up most the night nervous about falling asleep without my bags being secure. Also when I arrived, I was starving from traveling all day to find out that there was absolutely zero restaurants or bars open after 10pm. I wouldn't book this place again, but it was OK if you get an earlier flight and don't mind not having a place to lock your belongings up.

As advertised: a place to sleep and shower. No frills. Decently clean. Shuttle service was prompt and it took no more than 10 min to get to the sleepy at mid morning. The only disappointment was that the rooftop bar is closed on Mondays (which was the only night I was there). I was looking forward to cooling off in the breeze up there and having a drink.
