The staff was friendly and welcoming. The lounge area was nice. There were lockers available for our luggage. The parking lot was a little dark behind the Hostel where we parked. Communal bathroom kept clean. Good price.

Overall the staff and welcoming vibes of the hostel made it a very nice place to stay. It was a bit dirty in the shared toilets, but they provided clean towels so that was a plus. This was my second time staying at the hostel and I will be doing so again for sure!

They massed up my check in date and give my room to others so really inconvenient at first night when I got there around midnight. And they should change or clean most of their furnitures and accessories

it was perfect for our needs. Cost effective, and convenient.
The only real drawback was that the walls to our room were only partial.
