"Good"

3.0

Je suis arrivé vers midi et la chambre était déjà libre, mais on m’a quand même refusé le check-in avant 15h sans aucune raison valable. J’ai accepté sans problème. Le lendemain, j’étais toujours dans la même chambre, elle était clairement vide et prête, et pourtant j’ai vu plusieurs voyageurs attendre avec leurs sacs pendant plus de deux heures juste parce que l’établissement refuse systématiquement de donner les chambres avant 15h, même quand elles sont disponibles. Je trouve cette politique rigide, inutile et irrespectueuse pour les clients, surtout dans une auberge de jeunesse. L’établissement n’a rien de spécial et ne mérite pas d’attente. Je ne recommande pas.

"Convenient, social and clean accommodation at a good price, but with a concerning deposit issue at checkout."

6.0

Convenient Location, good accomodation for cost and nice, social, clean common areas.

I paid an USD 80 cash deposit at check-in for keys and towels. At checkout, I was only returned USD 60. When I raised this, staff denied that the original deposit was USD 80. This was disappointing after a good stay.
