おしゃれめなホステルにバーレストランが付いている形態で、実際は飲食営業の方が盛んそうでした。 レビューを見たところ以前と経営者が変わったようで、以前案内に出していた滞在者用キッチンはなく電子レンジとケトルのようなものがあるのみでした。廊下のコンセントも充電させないためか潰されており、サービス内容は充実してる印象はあまりありません。 立地は分かりやすく部屋も清潔感はありました。貸出アメニティ類は何もなく、雰囲気的にシャワーの使用は控えました。 自分が借りた個室もベッドと机、椅子のみでハンガーなどもなく極限にシンプルな作りです。とりあえず寝るための宿だけ一泊とるなら問題なしという感じです。

我和老婆訂的是這間旅館的雙人間,滿大間的,而且房間門已經是使用電子鎖! 1樓是餐廳,check in也是在餐廳櫃檯,入住有附贈餐廳的免費飲料一杯。廚房有簡單的微波爐和熱水壺可以使用。 洗澡間在地下室,一定會經過1樓餐廳,感覺有點奇怪,而且男性還是有可能走錯進到女性的洗澡間,這部分在隔間設計上有點怪。 旅館後面有酒吧,在晚上打烊前都會很吵,即使關閉了隔音氣密窗還是蠻大聲的;而且該旅館一樓的餐廳門的門弓緩衝不太夠,關門會影響到樓上!

If you need to talk to the manager Apolonia will tell you that "we are not allowed to give out our manager's contact information" so he doesn't know how his/her staff handle customer care. We will not persevere

According to other reviews, this hostel used to have a kitchen (which was ripped out) and the restaurant below plays music till 11pm. Facilities are below par for a hostel - please avoid

Good cheap spot for a night. Definitely had a college vibe to it, people up partying late. The room was nice and big with lots of outlets. The showers were not so great. I didn't mind them being in the basement so much, but it's the kind of shower you want to wear flip flops in, and mine completely flooded out into the main area, luckily I was the only one in there. At least the shower stalls are large!

We were 7 people so tried a few things. Place ok:ish. Dinner was ok:ish too, but only 1 guy was friendly, 3 female staff really rude, looked burntout. Would not go back again, and recommend to eat at Taste instead, the food was much better amd the staff really friendly.

Unfriendly staff, rooms were not yet clean when we arrived at 6pm. Even at 8pm our rooms were dirty and there was blood at our sheets. There was no kitchen at all, only one microwave and a water boiler that’s broken. Terrible expierence.
