Overall satisfactory. Some rooms do not have an external window. We were shifted to a beautiful room on our second day. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The common areas get cleaned regularly which is great. Maybe some good books can be added.

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.

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.
