"The hostel itself is charming and very clean. However, it's quite far from the main tourist area, and in my opinion, the price is similar to what you'd pay for hostels right in the city center. There's no staff, only cleaners in the morning, meaning there's no one available to ask questions. While a self check-in machine is convenient for late arrivals, during the day it feels very impersonal.
There's NO ELEVATOR, and you have to climb 4 flights of stairs just to reach reception. This is terrible, as hauling heavy luggage up becomes an absolute nightmare. They really should change this or at least inform guests beforehand, as it's a major problem.
Furthermore, while the cleaning staff are very friendly, they don't speak any English, which makes communication quite difficult.
The common kitchen/dining area is extremely small given the number of guests. Moreover, they have a 'fridge' which is more like a cold compartment, and it didn't smell very good.
They don't provide free drinking water, nor is there a common water dispenser for guests. A sign indicates that you have to purchase water from their vending machines.
Furthermore, they lack proper cutlery and glasses, only providing mugs. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, BUT there are only 3 showers for approximately 25 beds, and just 2 toilets – far too few.
They have a very nice common area upstairs, but I think it could use a thorough check, as I saw app reviews mentioning guests getting insect bites.
The sleeping pod itself is functional and reasonably spacious. However, the mattress is uncomfortable, and what bothered me the most was that the room lights were left on all night – which I found unacceptable! This was not only a waste of energy but also because the light filtered completely through the small, light-colored blind used to close off the pod. They should either turn off the main lights or install darker blinds, as it's incredibly difficult to get proper rest otherwise, and you end up waking with a headache.
Finally, on a positive note, the breakfast was decent, and they even provide a toothbrush and toothpaste, which was a pleasant surprise.
Something else to consider is that there's absolutely no one at the hostel to interact with or assist you, which I found quite inconvenient."
