The location and the service was fine except the fact that the single ladies and men are staying in the same bedroom but not in a separate ones. I used the hostel for the first time and this fact made me feel very uncomfortable . Besides it could be much better if every room should have no more than 2 beds but not 4 or 6 beds in every room.. Also ,when I had a shower in the morning I noticed a cockroaches which were crawled along the wall from the ventilation system . I wasn't in a big panic but it was very unpleasant to stay there
