Overall, if you're staying in the winter, ask them to turn on the heater before you check in, as it takes a long time to warm up the room. John, the long-term resident, is really great and helpful—he makes everyone feel at home. Thanks, John!

櫃檯人員解說的很清楚，房間與廚房也張貼很多使用規則！ 需要自行準備沐浴用品與毛巾 也可以花費租用毛巾，免費使用吹風機，轉接頭，熨斗（各需押金20） 廚房非常大，六個冰箱，搭儲藏櫃 廚房浴室每天中午11-12點會整理！很乾淨！若不乾淨是後面使用人的習慣問題 這旅館地點好，價格也合理

Shared bathroom was always very clean, kitchen was useful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great location, just had a bit of trouble getting them to send through details for late check in and the shower I used didn't heat up, but another one did.

Comfortable stopover
Stayed another night on top of original stay as the beds were comfortable, staff friendly and attentive. Lawrence on reception was informative and polite. Wash rooms cleaned daily, piano in lounge with table tennis and pool tables as well.

I was woken continuously throughout the night by girls in my area and two were sleeping in one bed. I found a man passed out and asleep on a landing, who had spilt a can of alcohol on the carpet. I was quite disappointed with clientele last night.

2/10 Poor

This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring.

Reviews older than 6months are very much out of date. Rooms are clean, bathrooms freshly remodelled and overall it's a quiet building. Location is its best quality and there is no elevator so zero accessibility options.

Highlights of my stay were the showers that never run hot (or warm even), stained sheets, a kitchen that never opens, and carpet littered with toenails.

This place needs a serious cleaning. The floors and carpets were disgusting. I would never go barefoot in this place, especially the bathrooms.
