Overall: A decent stay that I would still recommend, but the hostel needs improvements in comfort, staff behavior, and facilities. Positives (+): • Friendly and welcoming male staff, always helpful. • Good location, easy to find with the instructions provided. (The photos they share are a bit outdated compared to the current state, they send you a picture of the arch to find the hostel and the building there is showing a Samsung sign which is no longer there) • clean Negatives (-): • Some staff members were also sleeping in the dorm room, showing little consideration for guests by leaving the door open late at night and talking loudly. • Only 2 bathrooms per floor, with showers and toilets in the same space, often leading to queues and wet floors. • The AC in the room barely worked – even on low temperature and high fan speed it never cooled below ~24°C. In August, with high humidity, it was uncomfortable and hard to sleep. AC in the common areas worked better. • WiFi was unstable, frequently disconnecting and quite slow. For digital nomads, this is not a good option unless you plan to rent office space in the city.

The entrance to the hostel is in a back road and it's not marked at all... the door to the hostel are not even marked... if you get through the correct door it's top floor(5th i think) new metal door on the left. definitely ring the doorbell which hostel will send you in email/booking.com etc message or you just won't find it. The hostel windows face the main road so it's going to be noisy. The are lockers but if you are unlucky you either won't be able to use them because they so high (bed 4) or you will need to use a stepladder/chair... The common area is quite good, and there are basics in the kitchen. Looking at the tours they offer they are more expensive than other tour providers so I am not sure why people rave about them? Maybe they just don't know how to use Google? I stayed one night and found cheaper and better hostel in much better location

Really homely atmosphere, I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back. It has all the amenities you need, well equipped kitchen with tea and coffee, I was also able to do my laundry at no extra cost.
