The rooms felt premium and were very clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The shared bathroom and pantry were well-maintained and they even provide unlimited drinking water via a water filter, which is a great touch. Additional facilities like a fridge, microwave, washing machine and WiFi made the stay even more convenient. The staff were warm, friendly and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly enhanced the experience. Definitely a 5-star stay.

STAFF were exceptionally friendly and loved the vibes of the place! Always someone playing the piano and the location was central and convenient. Other visitors were friendly and loved the rooftop pool and hangout area. Also appreciated the public computers - I used them to plan future trips. The beds were comfy and had plenty of storage for each person in each individual bed area. Best hostel experience. THANK YOU!

Everything is good and new since opening less than 3 months. Bed is strong and stable, if you turn with care, the next one will not feel it. Super nice compare with other ready made double decker bed. You can comfortably sat inside for lower n upper deck bed, nice... Spacious bed and individual space. Bathroom is big enough and sufficient hook to hang up changing clothes and not get wet.

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
