The staff and pod beds were great. The hostel was let down as the pods barely have any ventilation and in 40+ degree heat were almost unbearable. In cooler days though I’d recommend the hostel as it’s well run, in a great location and value for money

It was my first time in a hostel and let me tell you that was not what I was expecting. Very clean, friendly atmosphere, very helpful, no noise and was a close to main attractions. The breakfast wasn’t great but doesn’t affect.

After I booked this place I red that had some bad reviews so I was a little worried about this place. I booked 3 nights and for me I had a good experience, the communication with their staff was good, the place was clean it has a small kitchenette so I was able to cook some meals. It’s not a 3 or 4 star hotel but I had a goos stay.
