It's an ok hostel for a night. Seems a little disorganised. Some rooms have only a curtain separating them from the corridors of the building. There's also no curtains on the bunks like some other hostels. Not the best but could've been worse.

Hostel was filthy dirty, 2 out of 3 days I stayed there was no cleaner. The permanent students that stayed occupied the entire space & made you feel like you are invading their spaces. Their cooking made the shared spaces oily, smelly & disorderly

Clean and tidy hostel… convenient location near eateries and bus stops. Also much appreciated are the spacious cabinets (can fit a large backpack) with keys provided to lock one’s valuables in.
