2/10 Poor

a nightmare
Please read google reviews and don't make the same mistake that i did. Booked for two weeks, the place was a living nightmare full of dangerous people. I tried to get a refund, but i wasn't able to because of the hostel's policy.
erika, 13-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a very cheap hostel in a great location. You definitely get what you pay for but I’d definitely come here again if I was on a budget.

Anh Chuong, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

For God’s sakes read online reviews before booking, this was a mistake I made. IT IS NOT WORTH IT even if you’re pinching pennies, immediately left after one night and moved to a different hostel, and BE WARNED, NO AIRCONDTIONING or even a fan so it was hotter than hell during my stay. The window was open so you could hear all of the traffic and shouting outside.
Andrey, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very crowded and dirty, even by Hostel standards. Cheap and affordable for a quick overnight stay though.
Jack, 1-night trip

They ask for the passport as a deposit but when leave given a different passport. The hostel is located up a flight of stairs which is not convenient for with heavy luggage.
Yuki, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Toilets unclean, nil appropriate disposal options for sanitary products, dodgy doors to rooms and loud guests at all hours. Ok for one night, but wouldn’t recommend for anything longer! Reception staff were all pleasant!

Friendly service
We were allowed to check-in 4 hours early. Really great! The hotel is definitely not as bad as some of the reviews are stating. However there's still room for improvements :) The male toilets were disgusting and ran out of toilet paper during the night. The rooms were really worn down

Smelly and unclean
This place is in a perfect location, BUT it is the smelliest, unclean place i have ever stayed! They only positive things i can say are: comfortable bed, free cold water bubble and location.
Kate, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had a horrible stay. BED BUGS, knife threats, and in rude staff. The check in was rude and I was treated like I was an inconvenience. Later that night my roommate came in and said that some just threatened the front desk with a knife and two cop squadrons were sent in! I was terrified to leave my room. My roommate was smacking in the room and I later found out the cops didn’t arrest the guys who were threatening people with knife’s they just let them stay. Oh and Best of all, I got eaten by BED BUGS.
Lauren, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is riddled with bed bugs, it smells horrible and when we turned out the lights, glow in the dark tags were on the walls. Don't go here!!
Bianca, 2-night trip

Rough as Toast
Showers were amazing. Toilet not so. And Residents that Rent out the Dorms on a weekly Basis are Extremly messy and Noisy. They smoke at the Front Door, and it drifts up Hostel Building and comes through the Windows.
Christian, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Despite the best efforts of the staff, this place was completely compromised by the clientele. Recently renovated bathrooms were left in an appalling state by those using and I saw faeces in places I have never seen it before in my life. It's a shame because the hostel is well located and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Warren, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Turned away even though we had a reservation. Extremely dirty, used iv needles in view in reception.
Damian, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very uncomfortable couple of nights at the hostel. Lots of long term tenant, who are drinking and loud and the bathrooms stank and were not cleaned in the 3 days/2 nights.
