Stayed there for one night to rest between travelling but shared a room with workers who constantly moved in and out, turning lights on and blasting videos on their phones. The bathroom leaked water everywhere, no shower curtain, no toilet seat or paper. The beds barely fit me (5’6) and I had to bend to even lie down. Stains on the ‘curtains’ around the beds. Definitely no where close to the pictures

I stayed at this hostel for two nights and it didn’t look like the pictures. I shared a dorm that had 3 bunk beds, but there was no space for you to move. The lockers didn’t feel secure, they were falling apart and on the curtains on the bed for privacy, there were alot of stains. U share a bathroom with a shower but there is no shower curtain, trash can, toilet seat or toilet paper. I would not recommend this hostel, even for the cheap price.

Honestly would not recommend staying here. Bathrooms don’t feel clean, toilet didnt even flush, no toilet paper. The rooms are bare minimum, which is fine but there was crazy construction noise that started early in the morning, literal debris hitting the windows. Could not sleep at all. Definitely feel like the construction should have been mentioned before

Lovely owner, it seems to be family-run by a mother and a few of her children. Location is easily reachable as it's next to a main road, but it can be noisy in the rooms because of this. It's a small and very personal hostel, so enjoy your stay but don't expect luxury

It was very basic and the rooms were small and the beds were very close together. No privacy

Stayed here to rest between flights, for this purpose and the price, it was fine. Owners are nice and friendly.

Pretty dingy but good value overall, you get what you pay for, and not super far from the airport.
