03 July 2011

Liked: The reception's people are so kind and we can ask something 24 hours. Also, this hostel is located close to station so I can go around the city easy.

Disliked: This hostel is located in first floor of apartment and there was no description, so I was hard to find the hostel. Also, this hostel is a little bit dirty. I worried about my valuable things during I stayed this hostel because we cannot rock the lockers by ourselvs. Reception people have the locker keys but I saw they drunk alcohol at midnight. Also they keep our valuable things on their safty box, but sometimes there was no people at the reception. That is why I worried my valuable things.

26 June 2011 alice would recommend this property

Liked: Awesome value for money, great location. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Disliked: The receptionists seem to use the lounge area as their own personal area to meet their friends and talk loudly until the wee hours of the morning. The smaller bathroom wasn't cleaned once during our stay.

26 June 2011 Joseph would recommend this property

Liked: Communal sitting area, large TV and comfortable sofas

Disliked: Just 2 toilets and showers between all guests, which are in the same room so the queue for the bathroom was pretty epic in the morning.

20 June 2011 Sebastian Vlad would recommend this property

Liked: Cheap and central. Free towels and tea/coffee.

Disliked: Very crowded, noisy beds and overall not clean enough. You need to call the person at the front desk to open/close the lockers in the rooms (odd and annoying). Also, the rooms are smelly and not ventilated enough, there were too many people in the room and there was a general disaster with cleanliness throughout the place (including bathroom floor and kitchen). The beds made a sound at every small move.

20 June 2011 MUHAMMAD FIRDAUS would recommend this property

10 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Small hostel, only two dorm rooms, but big rooms with lots of room for everyone. Good location, close to metro stop - easy to explore both sides of the city from. Free books to read, free tea and coffee, good kitchen and washing facilities. Good bathroom facilities for the amount of people staying. It's kind of like a big home - laidback atmosphere, meet friendly staff and chilled travellers that are easy to talk to and hang out/go out with. Free city map and information on bikes for rent, public transport and where to go out.

Disliked: Hot water - especially in shower - was not reliable.

08 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is great! It's small and cosy, makes you feel right at home! Free towel! clean, cheap, staff are really friendly. feel very safe and secure here. Kitchen is great, Free wifi. Clean rooms and bathrooms! And it is SO cheap! def recommend this hostel!

Disliked: there are only two bathrooms.. so if you are in a hurry and the hostel is full, can be a problem. also they close the hostel between 11am-15pm to clean, but staff are pretty relaxed and if you are stuck they would let you hang around. Easy to work around def!

08 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: clean and kind people!

Disliked: nothing..

03 May 2011

Liked: It had character I guess - "colorful" guests and staff, a big TV in the main room with movies and even an XBox I'm pretty sure I noticed...and the place was quite full with guests when I stayed. Plus, the main bathroom is huge, clean, and nice.

Disliked: The biggest drawback...which is a BIG one for me, unfortunately...is that I simply could not get a good night's sleep. There are three dorm style rooms, but the whole place really is quite cramped and small for the number of people that stay there...and they are LOUD, the people. Even the staff is loud. And all the rooms are so close to each other and all the walls (obviously) so thin that you can hear practically everything happening in the place. And to top it off, as other guests have commented, two of the rooms are connected so that the guests MUST walk through the one room (or otherwise, the bathroom I guess) to get to their room. Not a good setup.

04 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: perfect location, very clean

Disliked: advertises WiFi but it wasn't working, the hot water wasn't working - they kept having to relight the pilot if you asked about it, the intercom system yo enter the building from outside stopped working the second night and we struggled to find a way in. rules say quiet after 10 but the people running it had TV/Movies on full volume much later

03 April 2011

Liked: The friendly & helpful receptionists despite the internet, hot water, main door lock system & one-time electric failure.

Disliked: The unforeseen circumstances of the internet, hot water, main door lock system & one-time electric failure. Untidiness of the kitchen & dorms (Beds were left unkept despite guests' departure; at least for our room...) We rather assist to tidy up the kitchen so as to better use the kitchen.
