Negative Reviews

Poor Wi-Fi service

While a free Wi-Fi service is available, the connection is not reliable, sometimes slow and can only be accessed in the common areas. A paid-for Wi-Fi service is available though some guests found it to be expensive.

Cleanliness can be improved

With numerous people using the shared bathrooms, guests have complained that the facilities were not as clean as they could be at all times.

Air conditioning is not provided

The hostel is not equipped with air conditioning and guests warned that you’re likely to be uncomfortable during hot weather and it may be difficult to sleep at times.
