The place is clean and good to stay in here.. but the communications with the office is terrible and the lady the works here is very little she can do about it, I send many messages and they never answered, I even told them that I will do a bad review on that and they don't care..So now you know that if you stay here there is going to be communications issues..Problems!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had a booking. They told me to fill my information to checkin online. I did fill my exact name, birthday but it didn’t work and then I went straight to that hostel and knocked the door so many times and then there were an old lady and maybe her drunk child stepping out and they refused to help me to check in. I insist on them to help me stepping into, because I showed them my checkin on the app and I did pay but they refused me, the guy did laugh at my face as if im a fool. At the end, they closed the door forever and I had more no chance even though I continued to knock the door. I accepted to lost over 20$, and Uber fees in return is 70$. Total 90$ for that terrible experiences that left me tiredness, exhaustion and tears.😭😓
