Very Good
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : The staff is very helpful and the hostel community is great. They've a very pretty garden and the hostel is very accessible through public transport. I had a pleasant stay.
  : The hostel is very inexpensive so understandable however I do believe they can benefit from some infrastructural Upgrades in esp bathrooms and community kitchen space. The Location of hotel and area around I found slightly unsafe so I'd be careful of my safety and belongings coming back late in the night as a tourist.

  : The location was perfect, close to the metro and train but also just a few minutes from the bazaar. The neighborhood might look a bit sketchy but actually is very safe just not touristy. Many information about what to do and how are available on the info board.
  : The place is cute and cozy but could definitely use a good clean.

  : The hostel is in a beautiful old house. The Garden is great for socializing.
  : The bunkbeds are not safe, as there is no rail to keep people from falling out of the upper bed, which is quite high.Staff was medium friendly.Strangely, although a lot of alcohol is consumed in the hostel, they had a lot of books on Islam in the shelves.The area around the hostel is not exactly safe.

  : Location is perfect for exploring the city but also to go outside as it's just a few minutes from train and metro. Neighborhood is populated by local mostly and there's a market area, might seems a bit sketchy but actually everyone was super lovely. You must try the bakery next to the hostel.
  : Place is very cozy but it could use a good clean and some deep scrubbing especially in the bathroom.

  : The hostel rooms and beds were very clean. There was a backyard where people came together to have a drink and chat together. There were lots of amazing people from different parts of the world. The breakfast offered was also nice and delicious. The staff were very kind and helpful providing information and having friendly chats. I felt really good staying there:)
  : All good, nothing to say:)

  : Spacious rooms, nice friendly staff.
  : The building is very old, the rooms are only painted not renovated. The windows in our room didn't open, the light was poor, there was no mirror, I must use corridor mirror to put cream on my face. But the most dirty were shared toilets and shower on our floor. The bad smell is everywhere, because there are no waterlocks and the pipes are very old. There was only 1 shower working, dark, dirty and very tiny. The sinks are installed in the toilets, very dirty and smelly. In one toilet the bulb was so weak that I hardly see anything. There were 5 kittens and a mother, they do not want to sterilize her and they forgot to buy food, so they didn't feed them on Saturday and Sunday. I did feed them well instead. Breakfast was simple, not worth the money we paid. So the second day we eat outside. Generally for that price you may have a good room with private bathroom and breakfast included.
