    Bed bugs ruin the stay

    I reserved a room for one night, but the experience was awful. The room was overrun with large bed bugs, and the bedding looked like it hadn't been replaced in ages. Even with such poor conditions, the staff seemed to anticipate a glowing review, even going as far as to suggest I should 'say ...'

    Bedbug and Mosquito Problem

    Well, the reviews are accurate. Either bedbugs or an overwhelming number of mosquitoes—it's hard to tell. I lay down and ended up with 14 bites, even though I'm using a sleeping bag liner treated with permethrin. The balcony door in the dorm room is left open, which could be contributing to the issue.

    Challenging entrance but decent stay

    I was caught off guard by the need to access the place through an underground parking garage and then climb several flights of stairs, with little to no signage. This felt unsettling and might be unsafe depending on your arrival time. Upon entering the hostel, I...

    Warm and Welcoming Hostel Experience

    This hostel is fantastic, with a cozy atmosphere and managed by a genuinely wonderful family. It’s ideally situated close to the bus and central train station, plus it offers solid amenities. The nights were a little warm, though. They took excellent care of us, providing breakfast and bag storage included! I would definitely recommend it.

    Avoid this hostel at all costs

    This hostel is truly terrible. It's dirty, infested with bedbugs and insects. The host enters the rooms at night, which is really unsettling, and the area is quite frightening with many rats. Please steer clear of this place. Even though the price is low, ...

    Great value with excellent service

    An exceptional place to stay for the price. Neela and Indra are fantastic hostesses, always prompt in addressing any needs. They offer a full breakfast that includes eggs, toast, watermelon, bananas, vegetables, coffee or tea, and juice.

    Clean room but bedbug issue

    My wife and I stayed here for a night. The room was tidy, but the pillow and bed cover were not up to par. Unfortunately, there were numerous bedbugs near my bed, which made it difficult for us to get a good night's sleep. At around 1 AM, I decided to switch rooms due to the bedbug problem, but next…

    Convenient location with friendly service

    The location is great, situated near everything you need. The service was welcoming and quite accommodating. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, and I felt comfortable for the price, getting a good night's sleep. However, my friend had trouble resting because it's near the train station, which caused some disturbances.

    Misunderstood hotel due to location

    The hotel's location might initially make you question whether you're in the right spot. However, once you chat with the lovely lady at the front desk, you'll realize how mistaken those assumptions are, simply because of where the hotel is situated.

    Mixed Experiences During Our Stay

    We visited twice, and while the first stay was pleasant, the second was quite the opposite. For three consecutive days, one of the staff members woke us up early by shouting and continued to yell for hours. Additionally, my headphones were stolen from my bag during the stay.
