    Breakfast ! First day I did not had chance for breakfast. Last Day I requested for eggs my request declined by Chef said no eggs only porgie. I told I can pay but chef already made her mind big NO. I went in neighborhood cafe Sierra and had wonderful breakfast.

    Place is cool worth what you pay. Neat clean room, lobby and restrooms. In shower they don't provide shampoo or soap you need to buy from the property. Safe side bring your own. Breakfast no choice's. It's All depends on chefs mood. I didn't eat breakfast. Chef is not cooperating with resption staff. Anyways other than chef rest of the staff is wonderful. Thanks guys

    Everything was great.

    Little room but with all one needs: bed with curtains for privacy and inside the “capsule” lights, 2 little shelf with socks for charging Devices. Locker inside the room. Bathroom clean at any hour, showers with little changing room aside. It is also provided with professional hairdryer, tool for curly hair, and any sort of toiletries. 24h reception. Lockers for shoes at the entrance. Nice lobby and free coffee/tea.

    It could be noisy at night near the reception. I think it was staff making the noise. The nighttime guy is very unhelpful and rude

    New and super clean and the daytime staff are lovely. They do let you book both beds to have a private room.

    The rooms have high windows onto the corridor which were all open and could not be closed, due to this could hear noise from the corridor and other people in their rooms. Was fine as I was the only person in the room, but if there was another would have been very tight on space with luggage.

    Very nicely done, modern feel and very clean. Staff very helpful, I had to get up very early for a flight and they provided me with a takeaway breakfast and helped arrange a taxi.

    The people were very friendly. Everything really clean. Perfect: the aircondition was working well so that inside the building it was good to sit (outside even at 21:00 over 30 degrees Celsius). Own café just outside. I liked that the dorm rooms were only for 2 people. Hostel-style yet extremely private. The rooms were inside the building without a window to the streets. But they have a window towards the hallway where fresh air circulated. So for having a good sleep it was good enough. Outside of the building on the street a woman sells fresh fruit. Great! A really lovely place.

    The 2-person dorm/cabin is very small - I wouldn't want to share it with a stranger. For two friends it was fine - there is enough storage space and a light/sockets/curtains for each bunk bed. It is basically one big space that has been divided into dorms/cabins which means it is very noisy - we kept hearing the buzzing sound of people in neighbouring dorms/cabins buzzing in and out of the room.

    We checked-in around 11PM without any problems. It's just around the corner from the address sign, by the cafe. We got given towels and slippers, the common room and toilets/showers/bathroom are very clean! There is a hairdryer, and shower gel and shampoo are provided.

    The only window of the room is oriented to the never quiet corridor, earplugs can solve that problem

    A modern and good place to rest and hang out in the common area. Clean and comfortable. Good breakfast

    I stayed for 3 nights, but I noticed that there was no housekeeping done during my stay. (I didnt ask about it though) The A/C was not fully reaching the room, may be they need to work on it, but the stay was comfortable. I strongly advise to change the existing complicated water heater into a standard common water kettle.

    The whole property smelled good and pleasant. The room was small but comfortable, I stayed in 2 bunks bed room. The door and room cabinets were electronic and safe. The free breakfast was good enough and basic. There were always people manning the reception. There is an open area where you can make free coffee and tea. The bathrooms were always clean and hygienic. Hot water was always available and good pressure too. The location is excellent, close to supermarkets, exchange houses, restaurants, a pub, parks and the train station was like 1.5 Kms. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would like to stay here again in future.

    I rented both beds in the 2 bunk room so I could have a “private” room and get a good sleep, but unfortunately the doors slam very loudly when they close, and you can hear people talking/snoring in rooms next to you. The doors slamming could be fixed I think!

    This was probably the cleanest, most well-organised hostel I’ve ever stayed at. WiFi was mostly great, breakfast always delicious, stocked with tea and coffee for guests free of charge, lockers to keep your shoes, staff friendly and helpful, bathrooms cleaned throughout the day and fully stocked with everything you could need.
