+ מיקום טוב, צוות אדיב ונעים

- מבוך רציני עד לחדר, הכניסה דרך בית קפה שננעל ב22, אפשר להתקשר להיכנס עד 23:30. בבוקר לפני 9:30 לא היה מי שיפתח לי כדי לצאת מהמקום, מאוד פוגע בניידות. בנוסף, אבל זו באמת טעות אנוש שלא מעידה, הם הבטיחו לי שהות בחדר מעונות פרטי והכניסו אותי לחדר מעונות מעורב כך שישנתי עם אנשים על אף ששילמתי על חדר פרטי, כן החזירו לי את הכסף…

- Had to phone someone to gain entry upon arrival. Then had to phone/message someone when I left for the evening and then again when I returned so they could let me out/in. In the morning, I had to find someone in the staff quarters to open the shutters to let me out. The place wasn’t terrible but I don’t know how a hostel can operate like this. Bathrooms weren’t great either.

+ I was a bit hesitant with all the negative reviews. But bed was comfortable and the lady helped me with check in and check out. Only stayed for the day as my flight was at night. Lockers available, towels and very good AC. For one night is ok, but maybe not necessary for solo travellers

- The price I was told at the reception was not the same as on booking. However, within 2 minutes the situation was cleared and I paid the right amount! It was however not very clean. The bathroom was quite filthy. No toilet paper, hairy bars of soap everywhere and the room itself was also not clean. After mentioning it they went straight to work and it got much cleaner.

+ Ubicación

- Cierran la puerta y te dejan cerrado dentro, no puedes salir si no llamas y vienen a abrir. Eran las 10;00 de la mañana y estaba encerrado dentro. No contestaban el teléfono.. horrible
