Quite clean, smokespot on the roof alright. No privacy in the dorm because the curtains are missing. Surgery room light are crazy bright, but maybe somebody likes them.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

I have nothing negative to say. It's really just an average (or slightly below) hostel. Run down building. No social activities. Staff are okay. Stayed in private room, and considering what you pay, it's really overpriced.
Hosam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel/ hostel. I really enjoyed my stay,

I was really pleased with my stay here. I stayed in the single room. It was spacious with had clean furniture. The room was clean. My only complaint was an occasional smell in the bathroom. The staff was very friendly. They had a very nice rooftop area, and it was in a great area. Highly recommended.
