"Wouldn't come back."

5.0

Decent location and the guy at the front was nice.

The bedsheets stunk. Had to change them, the room has nothing in it and is dusty , hasent been cleaned. The shower also has a toiket in it and there was ants in there and hair everywhere. Again not clean cleaned for a while by the looks of it. No soap to wash hands with either. Also for the price of a private room you may aswell spend an extra 20 dollars and get a proper hotel as its not even that cheap for a private room.

"Value for money hostel with flexible host"

7.0

Friendly and flexible host, other guests were considerate, location is good for public transport options. Good value for money.

However, the kitchen and bathrooms were not very clean. And the whole building smelled like Asian cooking. I didn't mind, and still slept well. But others may find this info helpful.

"There are so many things wrong here"

1.0

The location was good

The room was very ugly, not soundproof at all, we could hear other people breathing, there was no windows, no air conditioning, also not allowed to eat or drink in the rooms? the toilet was in the shared shower and the bathroom was very unclean.

"Had a very comfortable stay with lots of nice people , including staff."

9.0

Its location was perfect , right next to train station , buses and short walk to supermarkets. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. Was surprised it even had amenities for wheelchair access and showers , the washing machine was free and plenty of drying area.

It is a small hostel so not much space for recreation room , but being small allowed to meet lots of other guests , which was fantastic for a solo traveler.
