what I liked about it was the location. close to everything walking distance. What I didnt like about it was I had to share a bathroom and shower with ereryone else in the hall way. Not my thing but if dont mind that its an ok place . I have to say they kept it very clean. The rooms very very small but overall good for the money we paid. It was my first time in a hostel i just wish it said that in the descriptionn before we booked.

From the minute I arrived I got a really warm feeling about this place. Staff were very helpful giving tips on places to visit and dine. Very safe area close to the transportation services. I would highly recommend this place as it's true value for money. Yes it's not a modern 'Hilton' but it has character and a very positive vibe.

I have found this hotel quite disgusting. An old property does not mean it will also be poorly maintained. There is no fresh air at all in the hotel. It is in a very poor condition overall. All walls need to be painted and all hallways need new carpets. The front desk people do not show any interest in the comfort of their guests in addition showing no smiling faces.I would NOT recommend staying there!!
