Reviews and Ratings
I had a really disappointing stay at this hostel. While the rooms were clean enough, the atmosphere was chaotic and unsafe due to the drunken staff and loud parties throughout the night. Even though it was budget-friendly, the lack of professionalism and care for guests was shocking. If you're hoping for a good night's sleep, look elsewhere.
My stay at the hostel was quite disappointing, primarily due to the outrageous noise levels and unprofessional staff. While the rooms were clean, I struggled to get a good night's sleep because of the party atmosphere and lack of noise control. The accessibility of basic assistance was severely lacking, which added to the frustrations. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful stay.
My experience at this hostel was incredibly disappointing. The rooms were okay, but noisy, and the service was woefully inadequate.

My stay at this hostel was extremely disappointing. While the location promised a lively atmosphere, the reality was far from enjoyable.

My experience at this hostel was overwhelmingly negative, marked by unprofessional staff and a lack of proper management. While the rooms were decent, the overall atmosphere was chaotic and more suited for party-goers than anyone looking for a peaceful stay. The location is fine, but with the level of noise and disarray, it’s hard to see the value in being here. This place might be affordable, but it's not worth the headache.
This hostel is definitely not a peaceful place to stay. While the atmosphere might be fun for partiers, it feels more like a wild frat house than a place for relaxation. The rooms were quite small and didn't feel well treated, but if you're looking for somewhere to let loose, this might be it. The service left a lot to be desired, especially with staff appearing unprofessional and unavailable. Overall, if you value your sleep and a calm environment, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

I had a terrible experience at this hostel. The noise was unbearable, and the staff was unprofessional at best. The common area was right next to the rooms, making it impossible to sleep.
