They don't tell you that you are going to be staying out other people in the same room.
Then if you ask for a refund they expect you to go the property and talk to the manager and he tells you to check in, so that that the app shows you already checked in and then he doesn't want to give you your money.

Staff was a little cold and wrapped up in personal stuff. Not really appealing when you've been traveling. Most of the guests had been there for a Long time and they took it over like it's theirs
This place is basically a homeless shelter with a small fee. Absolutely NONE of the pictures were accurate, I walked in the door everything was dirty, there was trash all over the room I was going to stay in. There was holes in the wall of the bathroom and looks like it hasnt been cleaned in a while. And there is no AC so it was really warm.
Not sure why they call it "modern" when in fact there is literally nothing modern about it.
As soon as I walked in the door, I was shocked because the inside of the hostel basically matches the surrounding outdoor area... I guess I was optimistic. So I took a lost on this and booked elsewhere but I definitely do not recommend.
Also note you have to call a few different numbers to check in which is strange but I will admit the staff/manager she was actually really nice and chill. She offered a nicer property elsewhere but I declined.
