I stayed here twice. The first time, I booked the cheapest single room, P1. It was tiny, barely enough space to turn around, and I had to open the door to fully open my suitcase. Later, due to a power issue, I was moved to P2, which I believe is a more expensive single room, and it was much more spacious. My second stay was in a triple room. The bedding wasn't great, but everything else was reasonably clean. It's very close to the station and a supermarket, so for the price, you can't really ask for much more.

A repeated stay at this hostel, a bit noisy at this time and before. Room is very basic, but at such affordable price, you cannot ask for more.

The staff was very helpful and accepted all my requests. If I have another chance to come to this country, I would definitely like to stay here again. I also want to recommend this place to my friends.

The night I spent here was great and it was a nice and comfortable experience. It's definitely not a luxury stay by any definition, but the place was clean, the breakfast was decent and the reception was amazing. They were especially helpful with figuring out directions and storing my luggage while I waited for my night flight.
