“Not enjoyable”

The best

I booked a single (non-shared) room at this accommodation. The location was fairly easy to reach, I took a bus from the airport and walked around 10 minutes. The room appeared clean on first inspection. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.

Upon arrival, I was surprised to find the building felt more like an industrial space than a traditional hostel. Loud music was blaring as I entered – it felt like a live concert was taking place inside. I messaged the hostel to ask when it would end, and while they responded promptly, the noise continued for several hours. The rooms are located directly above the ground floor, where the music was coming from. It was so loud, it felt like the concert was taking place in the room itself. There was a strong, unpleasant smell in the room when I entered. I traced it to an electric diffuser, which I promptly switched off as it was making things worse. While bedsheets are provided, guests are expected to make their own bed. The towels supplied looked worn and old. The air conditioning/heating unit appeared very dirty, which made me reluctant to use it. Sound insulation was also poor – I could hear my neighbours clearly. As a solo traveller, I didn’t feel particularly safe staying here. Overall, this wasn’t a comfortable or restful experience, and I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

“The location was perfect for what we wanted, very close to the railway station and plenty of restaurants. Room comes with a key fob to access the front door so no codes needed. Basic and cheap exactly what we expected. · Cons: Bunk beds were a bit noisy and difficult to get into top bunk”

“Cheap clean room with fairly good location”

The best

I checked in late at night but the host gave me very specific, detailed instructions for how to enter the building and room which was useful. The AC unit was much needed, the shower worked well, and despite the kitchen being closed there's a vending machine you can buy drinks from.

Overall no big problems. Having to make your own bed (especially after arriving late at night) was inconvenient. The kitchen closes at 8.30pm - it could've been useful to use to fill up my water bottle or put things in the fridge on arrival but not a big problem.
